unusual arrangement

Post by triton28 »

If one wants to see what a Voyager XII would look like with 2 trunks, go to :Craigslist-Oregon coast-for sale-motorcycles/scooters-by owner, look for a post dated 2015-02-02 8:31pm, entitled "Nice street bike with two trunks and two saddlebags".
Interesting.

Wow, you would have to wonder if that would make it a bit top heavy?
The yellow would sure make you visible.

Don't know about top heavy ,but, I'll bet it's pretty unstable at 80 miles per.
The bumble bee look is pretty sharp.

I do like the color combo for sure, like an old Super Bee! I had been thinking about moving the speakers to that position, and now that I have seen it I think it looks pretty good. Do not like the 2nd box for sure, but guess it was cheaper than a trailer!

Yellow and Black, yeah, visible it should be, but even better would led lights around the headlight as suggested in another post! Then, even the blind could see it! :lol:
