Voyager conversion to a Vaquero?

Tcflame · 08-30-2013, 06:41 PM

Ok, So heres my question. Has anyone out there done this yet? I have an '11 Voyager abs because I got an incredible deal on it but I like the look of the Vaquero too. I'm wanting to convert mine to get the Vaquero look.
Anyone try this yet and if so, What was involved?

If you wanted the Vaquero you should have bought the Vaquero. Are you just talking about just removing the lowers and tourpak, or would you get the side-opening saddlebags as well?

Anything can be done with the application of the right amount of money.

Don't get me wrong, I do like the voyager. the front lowers and current side bags are all good. I was really looking to find out if anyone made any changes with the tourpak? it looks as if some side fillers would have to be added along side the rear fender where the chrome riser is supporting the tourpak and another seat. I haven't done any research on this yet as I just got a real close look at a Vaquero today and like the different look.

I have seen pictures where the tourpack was removed and a Nomad backrest was installed. I thought it looked pretty sharp.

I found the thread where he had posted pictures over on the VRA forum

The rack under the trunk isn't too bad looking when you take off the trunk and the plastichrome trim. I was thinking of leaving it off mine.

That isn't going to get you a Vaquero - just a Voyager without the tourpak.
