"Training Wheels" For Motorcycles
 ✖  |
Gilbert Klarner, Menasha, Wis., is a Marine Corps vet of World War II and an army vet of the Korean War. He has been a die-hard motorcycle enthusiast ever since high school. However, he's now in his 80's and has a repaired hip. That means he can no longer handle his motorcycle the way he'd like to.
So he went out and found a remedy. Training wheels for motorcycles!
A Voyager conversion kit was installed by Motorcycle Tour Conversion of Morris, Ill. He says the added wheels help him with his balance.
The Voyager kit is like having outrigger wheels. The kit requires no alteration to the motorcycle. It mounts with a belly bracket that fits onto the middle of the motorcycle frame and two rear wheel axle brackets. The brackets stay on your motorcycle whenever the Voyager frame is removed.
According to the company, with the kit attached to your motorcycle you'll still be able to lean up to 12 degrees. Conventional trikes have zero degree lean into a turn because they have solid rear ends.
The kit fits most motorcycles.
Sells for $4,095.
