We love the switch to the HD TriGlide. I made this comment in the Voyager section which explains my reason for the switch.
"We owned a HD Electra Glide with the Voyager kit attached. We just traded it in for a 2011 HD TriGlide. Let me say that I am much happier with the TriGlide. The Voyager Co. does make a good product. It IS an inexpensive alternative to the cost of a trike as long as you understand how the product works. I am well aware of the issues of turning and the feelings of instability. The "inside" wheel does come off the ground in a turn. Centrifugal force does force you to the outside as it would in a car. However, understanding these issues, you can learn to ride the Voyager without much difficulty. First, I learned to lean into the curve much as I would do on a two wheel. This helped counteract the centrifugal forces. Also, have your passenger lean with you. This helps. Remember, this IS not much different than riding a bicycle with training wheels. Second, you will learn quickly that steering is a lot like steering a snowmobile, only more so. I found myself using a great deal of upper body strength just to get the front wheel turning in the direction of the curve. The Harley Davidson TriGlides have moved the front fork out in order to make turning easy. Bikes with the Voyager kits are attached for the most part to a standard frame which is designed to be turned with pressure and not brute force. Overall, I enjoyed riding my Electra Glide with the Voyager (more so than my girlfriend who always thought she was going to fall off), but am much happier with the move up to the HD TriGlide. "
