Really like the Voyager Kit on my bike !!! 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago
|
|
I've ridden her around with and without a trailer. I really like the way she handles. It takes learning a new skill. A lot different then riding 2 wheels. But overall I think I've become very comfortable on it.
Rode 200 mile round trip on the highway at 75 mph to Newton, KS
just hooked up my camper trailer and rode for about 6 hours . Also very stable with my camper hooked up. this was in Olgsburg, KS.
Overall, I am happy with my decision to turn the Kaidallac into a trike. Now when the 2018 Venture comes in, I just have to remember I am back on 2 wheels.  |

Glad you are liking her, Kai. It looks good. When you first talked about getting the Voyager kit, I though you maybe mentioned riding it as a trike when towing, then dropping the trike kit and riding at the destination on two wheels. Are you still thinking of doing that, or is installing and uninstalling the trike kit more work than it would be worth? Do you loose anything on cornering at speed with the trike setup?

Glad to hear it! How long did it take you to quit leaning into a corner?

That should be pretty damn stable for trailer towing. Glad it's working out for you. Did you ever go any further with the car tire on the rear? You may also want to consider raked triple trees, they do help with steering.

Mike, If I unhooked the Trike kit, it would take two to get it back on. Because of the time it takes to get it back together I was just going to leave it on.. Yes it looses , speed on corner. You steer this bike versus leaning. So I would probably keep the kit on where ever I stay and ride it like the way it is.

It took time to get use to it. You have to slow down when turning a corner. You can feel the wheels almost come off the road when you don't. The wheel on the inner side of the turn is designed to lift off the road. That takes time getting use to. But once you get the hang of slowing down and a slight lift of the wheel with ought flipping the bike, you're fine.

As soon as I wear the present rear tire out, I am going to put a car tire in the rear.
