I was at one of my dealers (B&B Motorsports, Victorville, CA) recently I discovered this on the rack. A Goldwing with training wheels. And those people dare make fun of us. But I'm not sure if this was made exclusively for stabilizing or as a bogey to tow. Pretty pricey kit. Probably costs more than the trailer.

yes voyager kit 4500 doallers not bad price for a kit like that i belong to a three wneeled group here in ottawa and there are some o those in the bikes.cant beat the price.
So is anybody going to mount a set of them to the rear of an RS??
If they make the mounts for it ' But why. The kit doesn't affect the rear wheel, The two extra wheels are like training wheels on a bicycle.
I've seen a few of the Voyager kits on the road, They do look strange, I know what it is when i see them, but i cant describe what makes them look strange to me.
I believe there is also one called tow-Pac, same idea. I have heard stories, GWRRA Rally, that some have been stopped for to many wheels on the ground.
On Ohio. A M/C is any two or three wheeled .........
One man uses it when he has his wife on the back, but takes it off for solo runs. No other information on this one.

Desert Spyder, I saw one of these in Mt Vernon Washington where I bought my 2011 RTS. The guy that owned it traded it for a 2012 RTS. Also have a question. I now am in Lanncaster CA and need to get my 2011 RTS a 3,000 mi service and get the new filters and housings installed by a dealer. How is B&B Cycle for maintenance and timely turn around on service?
That is a very common unit made by a company named Voyager. it runs about 3K to 4K
it is easy to install on most any motorcycle and is easy to remove if you want to go back to
2 wheels. They are sold to people who are having trouble holding up their motorcycles just
like the folks here who buy the Spyder but at a much lower cost and you can keep the bike you already have and ride it.. they actually work quite well

I know of a couple who put one on their motorcycle. Strangely, it was a Kawasaki Voyager with the Voyager trike kit.
The wife found it unnerving. It's exactly like training wheels. When running straight, the two outboard wheels are off the ground. When making a turn, the bike would lean over a couple of degrees, and then stop suddenly when the outboard wheel hit the ground.
They quickly sold it and bought a Harley trike.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

I think you'll find that the new filters and housings are not available for use in California.
There is a kit for the Wing that raises the "training wheels" when you reach 15 mph....ride as a two wheeler (the wheels do not touch in a tight turn) and they lower when you slow to 15. It has an override if you want to ride "two wheels" with no training wheels on the ground. Kinda neat, but sure looks funny with the wheels up next to the saddle bags....

They look even wilder in stop-n-go traffic, with the "landing gear" coming down at each light, then raising as the rider accelerates. We had one here in town, and it was fascinating to watch.

They're pretty good but make an appointment first to expedite the service and make sure they have the required parts. Normally I do my own oil changes but I needed the new housing and filter. I provided my own oil (Amsoil 10-40 sold by BajaRon). They said this is not BRP spec and I said no, its better.
I also have a private mechanic in Riverside who is certified by BRP. Doesn't Jet World in Castaic provide service and a little closer?

Hey Bob,
If you mounted them to your Tri-G; how wide would you be???
Would you need a lead and chase vehicle to warn oncoming traffic?
They do make a carrier for dogs for the TRI, Looks sought of like a sidecar,
Its called an Pee Poo, Maybe you can look it up and post a picture of it, Posting pictures is beyond my capabilities.. Maybe it can be adapted it fit the Spyder.
Hi we have a variant here in OZ there called wedge-tails and all the wheels are on the ground all the time the centre one drives but because the out riggers have independant suspension they can lean up to 12 degrees on a corner i met some one who owns one and it takes 20 min to turn it back into a regular bike they have them for many diffrent makes and models Harley,honda,yam,kwak,triumph ect its very good in my state which makes it very difficult to register trikes of any kind as the configiration of the machine isnt changed (welded on ) it stays regoed as a bike.
