Yes I have some input. I found shock setup to be more critical after lowering. I was running rebound on II and I find that not to be suitable. With rebound on III and increasing my PSI by 10 pounds my wallowing issue was resolved when taking sweepers at high speed and hitting bumps.

No issues with bottoming out or any ride quality complaints.

This question is for Luvernekaw or anyone else who has sent their brackets to him for the modification on the Voyager.
How much is it to have the brackets modified at his shop? When the brackets come back are they just ready to bolt back into place or will I need to make any other adjustments to mount them up?
I know my mechanical limitations and they pretty much stop after unbolting and bolting something back on.

Contact them as they were very good with communicating with me upon inquiring. They even sent me the instructions.

Voyager saddlebag bracket modification is $195 plus return shipping. They will be returned to you modified, painted and ready to be bolted back on. No other adjustments or modifications will need to be made.

For anyone with any other questions please feel free to contact us directly at 507-283-1800 Monday - Friday 9-6 PM CST and Sat. 9-1 CST. I'm not on the forum daily so may take several days for a response.
Thank you.

I bought the lowering link a few weeks ago. I have to admit, I didnt think it would be the answer but I figured I would give it a try. Well, yesterday I installed it and WOW what a difference it made. I didnt adjust the front at all but I dont think I will need to. I went from being tiptoe to flat footed. By far this is the best mod I have done to my Voyager yet.
Next is to Ivanize. I hope I am as happy with that as I am with this lowering link.

Yeah, glad you went ahead and did it. It is a little unbelievable how much difference it makes in the comfort level coming to stops. I can also state, the Ivanized ECU will be the "other" best mod done to the bike. Hard to choose between them; those those two things REALLY make the Vaquero an even better bike and I'm sure the same can be said for the Voyager. Good luck with the rest.
