Jack, I do't know why your voyager could not be fitted unless it is a smaller version. In answer to your question however I have seen some on ebay that go for...
Tom, is that 2500 just for the voyager? If that's the bike and the voyager, I'm about to take a very large beating. We're going down to Tallahassee Thursday...
Are you talking about the bolt with the grease fitting on it ?...

Trish, I wish you a lot of well, and hope that this takes care of the problem. I think that before every trip taken on the bike a pree flight will be done....
Was that receiver bolt that holds the bearing rusty ?...

No. The bikes are kept in the garage and everything is kept clean and rust-free. In fact, my husband had checked everything before we started riding this...
Damn , I carry a girl on the back. She is worth more than the bike. Damn , I took a lot of time putting this rig together. I hate to think that even after all...

Picked up the new receiver bearings today and they have been redesigned, so evidently there was a known issue with the old ones. My son noticed the changes to...

Not at all. I'm 43 and have no desire to drive like a youngster anymore *LoL* The roads here in VA tend to be a bit rough, but no rougher than anywhere else...
The horizontal piece (silver) at the end of the bearing is supposed to be no more than 3/16" to 1/4" inside the "fork" with the rider(s) on the bike (this is...
I may be way off , but I believe this is because these people don't know how to drive this kit. From my perspective , if you drive it like a car , you will...

I would say check the measurements on your receiver bearings (no more than 3/16" to 1/4" inside the "fork" with you ON the bike), and make sure your Voyager...
Does it work ? If now can it work. I believe there may be a value to it. Especially , receiver bearing pictures ......

If you are looking down at the bearings. Does that 1/4 inch mean it should be 1/4 inch past the bearing itself , so that the suspension covers the bearing and...

No your about an inch out. Extrend your nerl on the side that is short. That is the swivel that you put the bolt through to attach it to your belly plate....
I did that nerl adjustment. All it appeared to do was to put the rig at an angle from the saddle bags, it made the trailer hitch ball move to the side a bit....
