Voyager XII 1200 trunk extensions

Post by Rudy Koch »

I just bought a 2002 Kawasaki Voyager 1200. Seems to be a great bike. I do have a bit of a issue with it though. The rear trunk seems to be too close and not much room for my wife. Does anyone know if there are any type of extension kits out there for these bikes?

Extenders are the way to go for sure easy install work great!!

(just sayng::!!! you do know that the stock trunk does have a lever just above & left of the licence plate that you pull and move the trunk back, it has three locking positions in it. Sometimes they get froze up with rust and owners think they are all the way back or do not work. Many new owners were not aware of this Kaw inovation.. Just saying:: Even so I would still get the extensions..

Just saying, look up under the trunk, just left of center. Mine had been locked in place with an extra bolt in the travel slot (don't know why), but it was already all the way back. I travel now (my wife rides her own bike) with a TBag in the passenger seat and with a backrest and when the bag is fully loaded it wants to push me forward at an angle. :-(
I got the extenders finally and it is great having them. It does leave a gap between the seat and trunk, but i put an extra part kit bag i found at the local Goodwill store in that slot. This trip to Estes Park will be my first with this setup so I will see how much this will improve the ride for me (long legs, so need to sit back).
Just saying, get them while they are available is my recommendation. :hmm:
Enjoy,
Ken :thanks:
