Ok, "Marvelled" 2012 Voyager, easy job.

JJRod · 11-16-2012, 12:59 AM

Ok, so I have, yet again, proved that even this monkey can follow simple instructions. I just "marveled" the Voyager. After I installed the Cobra Tri-Oval slip ons, the backfiring was really bad, so after getting some information from a member and threads here I was able to find the hose and plug it using a half inch electrical wire cap (press?) It completely solved the issue. Cost: about .25 cents. Time, about 30 minutes because it involved disassembling the plastic intake manifold body cover. The popping is completely gone!! Next: The throttle body modification from RACNRAY for a more responsive throttle. I ordered Ray's already modified the Kuryakin ISO grips. Lets hope they are not a pain to install or take off the stock ones. I'll report to see how much better the bike responds. Only things left to do: the Rifle 12 or 14 inch tinted windshield for a more sleek ride. The only big things after that for much better performance is a Big Air Kit and Cobra CVT fuel injection chip regulator thingy (it's the real technical term). I may even splurge on some chrome "bling." Of course only when the Money Gods shine on me because the Cobra regulator and BAK combined can be pricey.

Good job!, but I think you mean "marbelled"

Steve, I don't know about you but when I was kid, there was nothing like a good game of marvels.

I still have my jar of marvels from when I was a kid, most people are convinced though that Ive lost them....

blowndodge · 11-16-2012, 10:59 AM

Poor guy. You keep on modding.

I use Marvel Mystery Oil, that the same thing?

Lord, I apologize for that one there, and please be with all the starving Pygmies down there in New Guinea.

When they catch you, you guys are all going straight to the zoo where you belong.

**Top Cat** · 11-16-2012, 12:22 PM

You guys are ruthless, I hope this new guy can take a little ball bustin or another member will be lost.

No worries, Tim. I can take a little ball busting. I didn't spend 20 years with a bunch of knuckle dragging jarheads without getting my share of punches.

All you folks better be careful though. Too much ball bustin' may affect your prostates and at your age...well.
