Any one have a Voyager trike?

My name is Randy and I just popped for a 2012 Voyager with a CSC trike conversion. I ride a trike because I'm 60 years young but the body says it's 100. So, I ride a trike. Had a Goldwing CSC trike before and liked it, but it lacked leg room. Now I have this unit and am so far happy. One question. How many miles can I expect to get out of this motor if properly maintained?

There is a guy on the forum with over 250,000 miles on his 2009 Voyager.

Very nice. Since you give up the saddle bags, do you gain a trunk between the rear wheels?

Yes sir I do. The trunk is operated electronically. Not as big as the one on the GW 1500 trike, as that one had a straight axle. This conversion has an independent suspension.

Kinda has that English sports car look. Nice the way they extended the tail lights to resemble the stocker. Could be my next bike/trike in a few years.

Mine is a 2013 with a Motor Trike kit. I stretched the top box back about 3" and then had the custom seat made to fill the gap. Wifey and I are very comfy.

You're right. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't joined when I bought my Nomad back in 2007.

I guess I'm not supposed to be on this forum since I do not have a bagger. Sorry, I didn't realize it was just for baggers. You folks seemed to have a lot more knowledge that I had hoped to tap into about the 1700 Voyager.

You belong, just as much as the next guy. Don't take us too seriously, we don't.
