The Voyager has left the building.
Well guys I've had enough fun with my Voyager and have now moved on to my 2014 Ultra Classic in Candy Orange I picked up yesterday.
The Voyager brought me a lot of good rides and fun but also a lot of blood, sweat and tears. I have some parts off the Voyager if anyone is interested before I put them on ebay. PM me if interested. All parts in great shape. Stock K&N air filter Part # KA-1709. $25.00 free shipping to US. Oh yeah here's my new baby. Login or Register to Remove Ads

Vulcanbagger forum is one of the best forums I have been associated with and it ranks right up there with the ZRX forum. I hope the HD guys have as much good info as ya'll have provide and now maybe they'll give me a wave on the road. Ya'll have given me a lot of good bike information and I have had fun reading the good sh*t talking and bulls*%T that I seen on here. I will continue to read this stuff as I patrol working nights as entertainment to keep me awake.
Oh yeah my trade in value was not pretty. Harley raped me and now I'm their bitch for six years (Well my Credit Union's bitch, at 2.34%, Yeah). When it's paid off I'll be a 54 yr. old worn out whore. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Nice ride and by the way, there is no such thing as an enthusiast here. We are all VBA brethren.

What issues did you have with the Voyager ? Mine has been trouble free. |

Really it was a good bike but the time I spent on it trying to get the decal pop to stop drove me crazy. I thought it was the V&H slip-ons, then the Cobra Autotuner and then I tried the Thunder gasket and finally got it right by doing the intake seals and another Thunder gasket with seal on the throttle body with lots of sealant like Ray described and finally that got rid of the decal pop almost completely. I tried the Ultimate baffles and the Thunder intake but did not like these add-ons and were sold.
I installed the Alpine amp and Polk Audio speaker and I really wasn't impressed like I thought I would have. It was just kind of a history of disappointment with my Voyager. Not putting the Voyager down at all just kept thinking of the Harley Fatboy I traded in for the Voyager and wanted that kind of ride again. |

redjay,
"Blood, sweat and tears" Have you read oldrampy's problem? His recent post of popping and backfire. This is what I was talking about. I think the Voyager is a picky beast just best left alone and it will be just fine. Kinda like a woman if you mess with her and piss her off she can make your life miserable. Not pickin just sayin. :) |

My Voyager has no decel popping issues. It has Chucksters intake, Cobra Powrpro and stock 2010 mufflers. Rides great with no issues. Some people buy a certain bike but really wanted another bike. They will never be happy with the bike they bought as a substiture for the one they really wanted.

redjay, you have the stock mufflers but if you get aftermarket exhaust you will most likely know what I'm talking about. The decal pop is only noticed by those of us who installed aftermarket free flowing exhaust.
Thank you to all who have given good comments and I promise I will wave to ya'll when I'm on my Harley. I ride all bikes so I don't have the Harley complex. Ya'll have fun on those rides whatever you ride, keep payin the bills and let's enjoy the rest of the time we have left on this place. Again thanks guys. |
