Ian, ... You don't have a lot of leverage with the Voyager handlebars and any stiffness is going to make it more difficult to control. When I rode the voyager...
Peter, ... There are only two sensible options and they lie at 90 degrees to each other. There might be an advantage of one over the other, but I doubt it. If...
Just in case it makes anything clearer, I've added an extract from Royce's Voyager drawing in the 'Sundry' album showing the steering column area. The axes...
