AIR FILTER ALTERNATIVE(1200)

To find even more air filters use 1990 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z as application for search terms for an internet search. This search will bring back all compatible filters (after trimming the 1/8" off). (Thanks David Harrison (Silver Bullet) for this info).

STP - For Info on how to use an STP air filter and adapt it for Voyager XII use, click here for this article (then click Back Button to return here), or go to the AVA Tech Center pages for this and more Voyager tips. Thanks to Bill Bunn for this info! Listed 1/1/04

Fram - The Fram Extra Life III Air Filter #CA3915 ($7.99 on Amazon and $8.49 at Autozone - 6/20/2014.) is a great filter for  the Voyager XII. You can use the white plastic from the Kawasaki Filter - Trim the sides on the Fram Filter and it slides right in. Thanks to Scooter Housey for this info! Listed 5/22/04.

Purolator - # 24339 ($6.59 (list $8.59) at Advance Auto Parts - 6/20/2014.) I had to trim one of the sides, similar to the Fram listing and slid it into the white frame. Any obvious gaps were sealed with black RTV sealant. One source is Pep Boys, cost as of 3/13/07 is just under $8.00. Thanks to Gilbert (Tinker4) for this info!

K&N - P/N #33-2008, trim two adjacent sides 1/8" same as the other filters and then seal into a gutted stock plastic frame. I suggest using Permatex Ultra Black silicone to seal as it's oil resistant (for periodic clean & re-oil). Pricer than the disposable paper filters but the last filter you'll ever buy and more eco friendly. $47.99 at Amazon and O'Reilly Auto Parts (6/20/2014.)

AIR FILTER ALTERNATIVE(1700)

K&N KA-1709 $62.99 at Autozone, $67.34 at Dennis Kirk (6/20/2014.)

ALTERNATOR REBUILD/EXCHANGE - Voyager 1200, 1300, 1700

Motorcycle Alternator Repair Service: Ken Heming in Merrillville, IL rebuilds motorcycle alternators. He also generally has replacements in stock for all Voyagers. For current information, visit his website or email him at hemi-roid@frontier.com.
Thanks to Larry Peterson for this info.

ALTERNATOR UPGRADES  (OEM Replacements in OEM Parts Replacement Table below)

Keep in mind when going to a larger amp alternator that these produce their output at higher rpm's. Some larger amp alternators don't put out until 2500 rpm's, ore even higher! If you do a lot of city riding and very little highway riding, you may drain your battery rather than charge it!

REWIND UPGRADE (1200) (from stock 35 amp to 55 amp output)- Morton Grove Auto Electric, Il  (Phone # (847)-394-1698) has gained a good reputation for upgrading stock Voyager XII alternators to produce 55 amp output. Check current pricing, and it takes about two or three weeks after receipt of your stock alternator. Please tell them you were referred from the American Voyager Association website.

REWIND UPGRADE (1200) (from stock 35 amp to 55 amp output)- A&M Alternator Service, 2419 E. Jackson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034, (602) 267-0891. The owner is Manuel Olivas.Price as of 3/15/2007 was $100 plus tax and shipping.
Thanks to Dennis Lawrence for this info.

CB ALTERNATIVES

Although you probably won't find (with Air Rider the exception), a CB set-up as convenient and integrated as the once optional Kawasaki Clarion model (for the 1200), you can find some for much less, keep in mind that most of the alternative CBs will not have all the features (if any) of the OEM models, for example, auto override of radio, and others, and you will probably have to use a hand held mike to transmit (pain in the neck while you are riding), you will also have to figure out how to get the CB hooked up to your helmet headsets if you don't want to strain to make out what somebody is saying using just the normal outside speakers of the CB itself. But just the same, here's some suggestions:

Note: The alternatives previously listed here are not longer available. If you've installed an alternative CB radio on your Voyager (1200, 1300, or 1700) email the info to Webmaster@amervoyassoc.org and I will post it here.

ENGINE TOUCH-UP PAINT

Dupli-Color engine enamel, Aluminum (paint code) DE1615 - Comes in a spray can. Can be found at Auto Zone and other parts stores. Begin with cleaning the engine with soap and water, degreaser if needed. Or if battery acid spill, clean with baking soda and water to neutralize the acid, then clean with soap and water. Next light sand with a medium grit paper on affected areas or wire brush on rusted bolt heads. Clean any excess dust or dirt from area. I use a utility paint brush, I spray the paint on the bristles, then dab and brush to affected area, use thin coats, some areas may need two coats. Thanks to Dave Wirtz for this info!

FLASHER REPLACEMENT

Tridon electronic flasher EP-34 - can replace the OEM unit for the Voyager XII and the 1000 Concours. It will work with both standard and LED bulbs. You will have to fabricate a holder for it though because it doesn't have the tab for the rubber hanger. I used piece of foam water pipe insulation and a large zip tie to secure mine.  - David Slike - lslike@neo.rr.com

FLOOR BOARD COVERS (Voyager XII)

Although Markland made chrome covers for the Voyager XII at one time, they have been discontinued. If you cannot find any from the classified ads or otherwise, you can use the floorboard covers off a Kawasaki Nomad part numbers: 14090-1907 (left side) 14090-1908 (right side).

FUEL FILTER

John Deere - Part #AM116304, Fits '86-'03 ZG1200 Voyagers. About $5-$6 in 2013. It fit very well.

NAPA - Part #3001, About $4 as of 6/20/2014, fits '86-'03 ZG1200 Voyagers. Does not come with hose clamps. This filter contains a paper element for finer filtration. You may also have to use smaller hose clamps or screw type hose clamps to clamp on the slightly smaller inlet and outlet tubes of the filter.

FRAM - Part #G2, $3-$4 as of 6/20/2014 (available at Wal-Mart and others), fits '86-'03 ZG1200 Voyagers. It is identical to NAPA filter except it has larger hose barb nipples at both ends, same size as stock filter. Now you don't have to change to smaller hose clamps and pinch the fuel hose down. However, the diameter of filter body is too large for stock mount so you would have to use a couple of cable ties to secure it. (Thanks David Harrison (Silver Bullet) for this info).

HAND GRIPS (1200)

Kuryakyn part # 6180 - Specified for Honda Goldwings, but will fit with some modifications to the Voyager XII's, they are 6 1/4" long, the left grip requires no mods to work install as instructions state. The right side grip throttle side does require some mods, to get the correct spacing between the grip and the controls, if you don't want to use a foam spacer. $69.99 as of 12/28/08.

LED Replacement Bulbs

http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm - Get the 1157 in 'RED'. Do not use the white ones with a red lens. White ones tend to cancel out the red color lens. These bulbs not only direct light straight out the lens, they also shoot to the sides. This helps to reflect light off the insides of the housing. They use very little power and DO NOT GET HOT. These are excellent bulbs for the Voyager rear fender light. Thanks Fritz for this info!
