Disaster while riding my Voyager today

[vxiirider]

There are 3 metal clips on the inside of each one that you can carefully pry out with a small flat screw driver to remove the winglets. Really an easy task.

[Lucasind]

Get the metal clips wet with a little spray lube like WD 40,makes removal even easier.

Hi JTC1 I live down near the south coast close to Winchester in Hampshire, the village is called Micheldever its very pretty and there are some great bike rides around here, thank you for the welcome.

[JTC1]

Was fortunate enough to be stationed twice in the UK, Closest I came to your area was The Salisbury and Southampton areas. (was stationed at RAF Bentwaters near Ipswich and RAF Alconbury near Huntingdon) Love your country and its people! They treated me very well while there!

[Mr Jensee]

Hey MrJensee just got an email back from Carl he says he has several winglets maybe even the right colour, he needed to know the model year and he will get back to me thank you
One happy UK newbie.

Any time Red2stroke. Glad Carl could be of help.

Welcome to the forum Red2stroke. Delighted to find another owner on this side of the Atlantic. I'm in Ireland, just north of Dublin. Always available to help if needed.

[RED2stroke]

Hi Neill004 thank you for the welcome, the same to you, if you ever need any help please give me shout. All the best to you.

Hi
I am also a UK owner and have a 2000 voyager. I live in Guisborough in Cleveland (in between Middlesbrough & Whitby). Maybe need to plan our own rally for next year in the UK and see if we can get some of the UK owners together

If you require my e-mail or phone number give a message back. I'm offshore at the moment.

My other bike is a 1992 Suzuki DR800 single

Regards
Steve

Welcome to the AVA,Captain.You will find plenty of shared experiences here.I did not know that Suzuki built that large of a single ,so I googled it.I see they even put two 33mm carbs on it.Talk about a thumper How well did Suzuki smooth the vibes out?

[Captain]

No problem with vibes. I've ridden up to 500 miles in a day loaded with top box and panniers and toured around the UK. It has twin spark plugs, twin carbs and a 1 into 2 exhaust system Runs best at about 75mph but can pull over the ton.

Thankfully it has an automatic decompressor!!!

Regards Steve

RED2stroke & Neil004, visited your wonderful country, Ireland, last year in July. I did see one XII while I was there. Wife & I plan to make the trip back to visit more of your country.

Hi Captain, thanks for the reply, I wonder how many UK owners there are? It's always good to meet another voyager owner this side of the pond. I've been to Whitby around 3 years ago to collect a CZ250 twin that I won on ebay , I still have a thing for CZ 's I currently have 5 I think , I would have to check as my little collection is about 30 bikes strong and I tend to sell one and buy two. I'm off to a motorcycle mega meet this Sunday it's at old airfield close to home, I'll post some pics if I can , I'll let you know if I come across any other Voyagers.....cheers Martyn
