Thanks for the video I am considering adding the Kawasaki voyager to my stable. I currently have a Yamaha Roadliner I turned into a Full dresser, by using the quick release passenger backrest mounts for the Roadliner and attaching to a trunk. Your video gives me the option to do the same with the voyager, since it is still in construction and Yamaha stopped marking the Roadliner several years back, which means parts are harder and harder to find.
Nice job. I have a 2013 Electra Glide ultra. Harley makes a detachable kit, but it's very expensive. I have 6 months of winter coming up to make my own detachable tour pak.
A great conversion! I would be interested in putting on a solo luggage rack in place of the passenger seat, and perhaps another trunk for solo application that could fit on the luggage rack....
After watching this. I’m very glad I ended up with a vaquero instead. I can deal without the lower leg fairings Rear attachments are way easier on my bike
What quick connect did you purchase for the brake lights? Also, what did you use to keep your lines so clean for your cuts on the tour pack? Did you make a template?
I bought a connector from Autozone. I believe it was a four wire connector, but I just used three wires. I kind of made a template using tape and marking my lines using measurements to keep it equal on both sides. Then I cut it with a cutting blade on a grinder.
@@cyclehawkmotolifethank you for the reply. Will head to autozone as I’m doing this conversion as well. Went a step further and purchased a slightly used vaquero seat. Purely for aesthetics. But you back rest idea is now a new part of my plan. Thank you
Just maybe the folks are purchasing this bike and removing the trunk, cause the want the variety of colors and chrome than the dog ugly Vaquero in all black. Kawasaki needs to get their heads out of the sand pit and offer the Vaquero in chrome and colors. Who want a cheap flat blackout bike? Just a few. The majority of buyers want the Vaquero back with color choices.
@@FlipsmooveRR I’m not sure what you are referring to. I didn’t buy anything that was quick disconnect. I had to modify everything to make it a quick disconnect. Sorry if I’m misunderstanding what you’re asking.
I used painters tape and a ruler to make the lines that I cut by. Then I used a cutting blade on my angle die grinder. I then bought some chrome auto trim to cover up the cut edges.
I'm a little disappointed at the lack of passenger space on the Voyager... Would love to be able to relocate the truck back a few inches... Although it doesn't seem possible🤔
The trunk comes in hand when I go on long trips and when my wife rides with me she likes the comfort and security of the back rest. I just don’t need it all the time. This conversion gives me the best of both worlds.
I agree, but my wife rides with me a lot and she likes the comfort of a full tour pack over the basic back rest. The extra storage is also great on trips.
@@C_MacC23 I agree that it is ridiculous that you have to go to all that trouble, but it was never designed to be removed. 90% of the Voyager owners never want to remove the truck. I just happen to be one of those who like the option. Thanks for watching and have a good day.
@@cyclehawkmotolife I am looking at one of these bikes. I wouldn't need it all the time, primarily on a weekend ride somewhere so I like the option as well. Plus it makes the bike a little lighter Ha.

Yep, that's pretty good. So convenient to change over with just a simple modification. Nice bike either way too

Bravo! Very creative and practical! Well done sir!
That's how you do it!! Make stuff fit.
Greetings
WoW, what a fantastic detailed video 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸.
Keep producing more videos.

That's awesome, thanks for documenting it!

Great ingenuity! Awesome job!

Nice work, well explained!
Nice modification!
Good video man. Thanks.

Do you have a link for the quick disconnect that you purchased?

Nomad backrest bolts right
That I do not know. Sorry.
@@cyclehawkmotolife Sorry, I mean it does. I have one on my 2010
Beautiful Blue
What did you use to cut the chrome plastic? how did you mark it?
I used painters tape and a ruler to make the lines that I cut by. Then I used a cutting blade on my angle die grinder. I then bought some chrome auto trim to cover up the cut edges.

I haven’t seen a way to do it without messing up the alignment of the side “chrome” plastic covers.
@@cyclehawkmotolife Agreed. I've thought about this as well but it the chrome plastic that won't work.
Brother you could have a good business there.
I'm sorry i like the conversion. Why not just get you a Vaquero. Just saying.
The trunk comes in hand when I go on long trips and when my wife rides with me she likes the comfort and security of the back rest. I just don’t need it all the time. This conversion gives me the best of both worlds.
Kawasaki vaquero would probably be the better bike and just add back rest... For me 🤔 interesting video though
I agree, but my wife rides with me a lot and she likes the comfort of a full tour pack over the basic back rest. The extra storage is also great on trips.

That's ridiculous after watching it done on a Harley. Harley removed the seat and connections then unlatched the chest.

Easier to get rid of the wife, and ride solo😊
That was not smart that bike was designed to have box on it not just a back rest
