Voyager Trike Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
Voyager Trike Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will the Voyager Trike Kit fit my motorcycle? ▶
Voyager trike kits are designed to fit a wide range of motorcycles, including popular Harley-Davidson (Sportster, Softail, Dyna, Touring models), Honda (Goldwing, Shadow, Rebel, VTX), Suzuki (Burgman, Boulevard, Intruder) and many others. For a full list of compatible models and fitment details, check our AVAILABLE MODELS page.
2. Is the Voyager Trike Kit a bolt-on kit or does it require frame modification? ▶
Most Voyager kits are designed as bolt-on conversions that use your bike’s existing mounting points. There is no welding, cutting or drilling needed in MOST applications.
3. How long does it take to install a Voyager Trike Kit? Can I install it myself? ▶
The majority of our customers install the kits themselves. Depending on your skill level and motorcycle model, you can expect installation to take about 4-6 hours. Professional installation typically takes 3-4 hours, depending on the model of your motorcycle and shop experience.
4. Will adding a Voyager Trike Kit affect my motorcycle warranty? ▶
Aftermarket modifications CAN affect manufacturer warranties on specific components. Voyager kits themselves typically include their own warranty, but you should check your motorcycle manufacturer’s warranty terms. In many regions, laws (like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in the U.S.) prevent manufacturers from voiding an entire warranty solely because of an accessory.
5. What warranty comes with a Voyager Trike Kit? ▶
Voyager typically offers a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 Month (Unlimited Mileage).
6. Will the kit change how my motorcycle handles and brakes? ▶
Yes. When adding a Voyager trike kit to your motorcycle your bike will handle with very similar riding characteristics of a conventional trike. This alters cornering technique, steering feel, and braking dynamics. Voyager kits are engineered to optimize handling and braking for "trike" operation, often improving straight-line stability and braking confidence. We provide setup guidance and recommend test rides to adapt to the new handling.
7. Are Voyager Trike Kits street-legal? ▶
Street legality depends on local regulations. Some jurisdictions require title/registration updates after a conversion (motorcycle → trike) and may need inspections. Voyager provides documentation for compliance, but you should contact your DMV or local motor vehicle office for exact requirements in your area. We have heard of very few cases of difficulties, and while very few, we have heard of instances.
8. Will insurance premiums increase after installing a trike kit? ▶
Insurance costs vary by carrier and region. Some insurers view our kits as bolt on accessories. Always notify your insurer before riding post-install to confirm coverage and potential rate changes.
9. What are the weight and passenger limits after conversion? ▶
Weight capacity depends on the specific Voyager kit and the donor motorcycle’s frame/engine specs. Each product page includes load limits and recommendations for passenger weight and cargo. For safe operation, follow the published limits and avoid overloading the trike.
10. Are Voyager kits compatible with ABS and modern electronic systems? ▶
Many Voyager kits are designed to work with motorcycles equipped with ABS and other electronic aids, but integration requirements differ by model and year. We document compatibility and any required sensor or brake-line changes on each model’s technical notes.
11. Do Voyager kits come painted or raw? Can I match my bike’s color? ▶
Some Voyager components are shipped in a primer or raw metal finish, while others may come painted or powder-coated. Color-matching to your bike’s factory finish is available call for details.
12. What maintenance does a trike conversion require? ▶
Routine maintenance includes checking wheel bearings, suspension, brake systems, tire pressures, and alignment. Voyager provides a maintenance checklist. Trikes may require additional checks compared to two-wheel bikes, especially on rear suspension and axle components.
13. Can I still tow a trailer after conversion? ▶
Towing capability depends on the donor bike and the conversion’s hitch setup. Some Voyager kits permit trailer towing; others require specific hitch kits. Always consult the kit documentation and ensure the combined tongue weight stays within manufacturer limits.
14. How do I order the correct kit for my year and model? ▶
Use the model selector on the product page or provide your motorcycle’s make, model, and year to your dealer. VIN and photos of the rear section MAY be requested for custom or older models to ensure correct fitment.
15. What is included in the kit and what parts are additional? ▶
Typical kits include the trike axle assembly, rear wheels/tires, mounting brackets, hardware, and installation instructions. Optional items often include fenders, custom wheels, paint, hitch kits, and storage accessories. Each product page lists inclusions and optional extras.
16. How much does a Voyager Trike Kit cost? Are there financing options? ▶
Pricing varies by model and options; expect a range depending on donor bike and selected accessories. Contact an authorized dealer for current pricing and available financing. Some dealers offer payment plans or shop financing for conversion work.
17. Do you provide installation services or recommend local dealers? ▶
Voyager or authorized resellers often list recommended installers and dealer partners. If we don’t offer local installation, we can recommend certified shops experienced in trike conversions—contact customer support for referrals.
18. What is the lead time and shipping process? ▶
Lead times depend on stock and production. Standard kits may ship within 10-14 days; custom or painted kits can take several weeks. Shipping is typically via freight for large components—tracking and delivery coordination are provided at checkout or by your dealer.
19. Do you have wheel options are available? ▶
Voyager offers multiple wheel styles and finish options. Check the options section on each kit page for wheels, fenders, and paint choices.
20. Can I convert a trike back to a two-wheeler later? ▶
Some kits are reversible if original components (rear wheel, swingarm, brackets) are retained and reinstalled, but reversibility depends on how the bike is modified. Keep original parts if you plan to revert and consult the installer before conversion.
21. Are there training or rider clinics for transitioning from two wheels to three? ▶
Yes—many dealers and motorcycle schools offer transition clinics or demo rides to help riders adapt to trike dynamics. We recommend at least one supervised ride to become comfortable with turning, braking, and low-speed maneuvers.
22. What aftermarket accessories are compatible a Voyager Trike? ▶
Many aftermarket accessories (saddlebags, touring trunks, audio systems) remain compatible, but fitment may change. Confirm accessory clearance, mounting points, and electrical connections with your installer before purchasing.
23. How do I care for and store a Voyager Trike in winter? ▶
Follow standard motorcycle winterization: clean and wax surfaces, stabilize fuel, disconnect or maintain batteries, inflate tires to recommended pressure, and store in a dry, covered area. Check axle and bearing seals periodically for corrosion in wet climates.
