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 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. Complete list of Air Filters that match the Fram (other makes) is located here.

Purolator- # 24339, 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. I found mine on eBay for $29.95 including shipping. Also 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 triming the 1/8" off). (Thanks David Harrison (Silver Bullet) for this info).

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.

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:

JC Whitney 81NX2474R, The 40 channel, full feature, full 4W power, remote has all the controls in the handheld mike.  It appears a Maxon MCB10A for $59.90 is the same radio.

Air Rider- No longer available.

Cobra IMC Kit Sierra Cobra Kit includes everything needed to have bike to bike communications for the SOLO rider. For more info, visit their website.

Attached by velcro fasteners to your dash.  Priced at $21.50- Free Shipping (price as of October 2006)For a complete list of available bikes, colors, and options available, email to Mr. Tracy Pastiva by Clicking Here

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!

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).

J.C. WHITNEY- Part #01ZX2102A, $2.29 each, Fits '86-'03 ZG1200 Voyagers.

John Deere- Part #AM116304, Much less than OEM, Fits '86-'03 ZG1200 Voyagers. Webmasters note: When trying to obtain a crossover brand in Purolator or NAPA to the John Deere filter, it was found that neither the Purolator or NAPA brand crossed from the John Deere was a close match to the OEM. Although I have not seen the John Deere filter itself, if it is anything comparable to the crossovers recommended by Purolator or NAPA, I used instead, and would suggest using the NAPA filter below that more closely matches the OEM (if fit very well).

NAPA- Part #3001, $3.99 each as of 4/1/2010, 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, $2.87 each as of 4/1/2010 (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 take a couple cable ties to secure it. (Thanks David Harrison (Silver Bullet) for this info).

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.

Ilco X103 also listed as KA14- Available at most hardware stores with Key cutters, and locksmiths. Thanks to Bill Overton for this info.

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!
