Just looked at the photobucket pics in your other link. I really like the look with the Voyager saddlebags and saddlebag guards. Did you have the chrome trim on the back painted to match the bike?

No. I picked up strut covers from a 2012 Vaquero. a guy converted a Vaquero into a trike. Both cover trim's for $100 off eBay.

Very Nice. All I would do is get a lower windshield, but that is just my personal taste. I think you did a fantastic job, and should be very proud of your bike!

Hahaha, You sure are right! ;)

Thank you everyone, Very kind of you all. I really enjoyed the project but I have to give most of the credit to ta-kid. He gave me a lot of direction and tips on the job - So thank you VERY much TA!

Also Thanks to gv550. He got me started on the road with ideas. Such a great group of people here on the site. Very helpful and always kind words to say.

Thanks again!!!!

That looks great and now you have the best of both worlds! Do you have to change out the fender surrounds or strut covers when using your top case?

Here is a pic of my Voyager.And a close up pic of the KQR drilled and cut to fit to the trunk frame assembly.This is one way of doing it,making it a 3 minute change.I am sure there are many different ways of doing this that will work.All it takes is patience and money.
