here's my Trigg trike having trouble getting the pictures to transfer to here
This is the story I posted on some of the other sites.
...............................................................................
As some of you know, I had an interesting riding trip From Edinburg Texas to Greenleaf Kansas and back, over the last week, 1031 miles one way. Broke down twice. Fuel pump went out replaced and the replacement went out. Lost my Galaxy Note 2 cell phone and had to buy another, canceled ins. a while back. Spilled water on my Laptop and had to buy a new one. A very expensive trip to say the least.
Now for the rest of the story. I have discovered, in life, you play the hand you are dealt. I have been on Disability since 1998 with many problems that are doing their best to cripple me. Riding by myself, I'm not having much problem handling the bike, but with the wife on the back, it's becoming more difficult to hold it up at stops. I didn't tell her, but I almost dropped it with her on it the last time we rode and it scared the hell out of me. I could not deal with myself if I hurt her because of something that is preventable by doing what I just did.
The reason I went to Greenleaf in the first place was to buy a Trike Kit from a really nice guy that builds and sells them out of his home. I researched for several months before deciding on his kit. It is the most professionally designed kit I found. All his welds are done by a pro welding shop. He aligns the kit to your bike down to a 32nd of an inch before he bolts it up. It's not as easily removable as say a Voyager kit, but it's not hard. He also doesn't charge an arm and a leg. $1800 start to finish.
As you can see in the pics, his paint supplier sent the wrong paint, but after the week I had, I told him not to worry about it as I used to paint for a living when I was younger and I still dabble in it so I should be able to paint it myself, besides that, I wanted to get back home.
I had read horror stories about some of the other kits and after 1050 miles on mine I couldn't be happier. There is a learning curve on any trike, but if you've ever ridden a 3 or 4 wheeler atv it's no different, just faster speeds. Steering is a joy compared to the Voyager and the Tow Pac I tried out.

LouLou2. TO CBLACK 6540 !!
I have the Towpac kit as well on my 02 Yamaha VStar Classic 1100.
How does it ride for you? Do you feel as tho your trike is bumpy going past 50mph. I get that on mine, it's definitely the kit that is feeling that way, not the bike itself.
Just wondering if you or others have had this problem and how to fix the problem. I can't post a pic, it's in my old broken phone, but will take a pic of it with camera tomorrow, mine is black as well, the kit matched perfectly, didn't have to paint anything. My Cargo back seat wrap around and jumbo bags made of same as the kits fenders. Had cobra pipes put on it. She was too quiet, even tried to start it once when it was already running....So you can hear me now ! Lol. Thanks in advance for replies.

try playing with the air pressures I am running 12 to 14 lbs in the outrigger tires 36 in the bike rear and 30 lbs in my front works very well and smooth ride up to 80 mph tried more pressure in the outrigger tires but it was rough at that point this is on the Trigg kit. nice and smooth .

My 1997 Honda GL1500 with the voyager kit installed
Well here is the done deal.
I added a couple of Amber LED lights to assist the directional lamps on the Stock trunk lighting.
Running / stop lights are on the voyager fenders.
I am starting to really enjoy the ride with the voyager kit.
I still have to figure out how to stop the voyager frame from hitting my mufflers on hard bumps.
No one else seems to have this problem....I will come up with a solution eventually..LOL

2000 GL1500SE Voyager
Here is my 'new' baby. Love the GL1500's. This is a 2000 SE with less than 20K's, (that's less than 12500mls for across the Pacific cousins). Don't often come by a find like this. I still have my '96 Aspencade with 70K's (43,500mls) and it still a dream to ride from one end of Oz to the other.
This is a top site learning about trikes and their owners.
I am seriously considering triking the SE with a RS. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!

Nice looking ride!! Yeah, the 1500's are really comfortable... Sometimes I regret selling ine when I traded up for the 1800 - should have kept it...

Break in Run
Pick up the SE in South Australia 30th Dec then do a shake down run over a coupla thousand clicks to see if the Voyager is what I want. If not, then it's a Roadsmith conversion once I find a trusted and true blue installer in Oz.
Have a safe and memorable Christmas to you Les and all reading this.
Here's to an improved 2016 and many, many rides ahead and following!epper:
Yes to the comfort level. I was tempted by the more 'sporty' feel of the 1800, but went back to what I know and respect. Besides, 'finding' the 2000 SE was a dream come true. Sold my 95 SE and regretted it every day since

Hobo conversion
View attachment 38498
My GL1500 with a Hobo conversion. The kit was installed the 24th of July. We have put on 1200 miles and are very pleased with the conversion. No wobbles or unsafe feelings with the kit. There are no ground clearance issues with this kit. Today, I removed the kit so I could remove the drive tire so i can have a car tire mounted on the drive wheel tomorrow. Removing the kit took about 30 minutes. Did I mention I really like the conversion

Hi Stan, I never heard of them. What kind of suspension does it have?
It is a small one man business in Kansas It has independent torsion bar suspension, He is trying to sell the business because of age and health issues.
Oh yeah, we had torsion axles too before we got the patent on our air ride suspension. Husband just never was satisfied with them.

My 'new to me' 09 VStar 1100 Custom Voyager - The Black Rat Rod
Well, not really a true Rat Rod but the Halloween black rat from the Dollar Store was something I just couldn't pass up. Made a great hitch ball cover.
