Are the voyagers the ones that have a heat problem, particularly with the passenger heat? I saw one this weekend at a bike rally and really liked it but all I could remember was some sort of heat issue..? I showed it to the wife and her response was I thought you wanted a Harley...for that price just get a Harley. God I love that woman....

She's definitely a "keeper", with that kind of common sense.

All of the 1700's (Voyager, Vaquero, and Nomad) have a lot of heat. The Harley has a bit more as it's air cooled. You can get a kit to redirect the heat on any of the bikes.

I don't think my Harley seems as hot as my '07 Nomad was, especially when that cooling fan would kick on.

The only heat complaint on my bike is the catalytic converter in the header pipe, which conveniently barbeques the back of my right leg. That problem will be gone this weekend, as I replace the stock pipes with an aftermarket set.

Get that in writing and buy that woman a gift! She apparently is extremely smart!

Same here. We were looking at a Voyager and a HD. Wife seen the HD and said that's the one you want. I always do what she tells me.

But I HAVE discovered that, "Fine, do whatever you want to! " does not mean what I thought it did.
