I'm still waiting for my carbs to come back, but still making progress. in fact, once I get the carbs in, it will be ready for the road. It will need new tires, but the ones that are on it are ok for test rides. For now....two new additions!

Nice, looks like your getting close Dave! Did you send the carb's off to Steve in sunny Florida?

Yep. it's been a waiting game though. Steve has had a pretty bad dose of the flu going around, so his work has backed up on him a bit.

Yeah, I read where he was pretty sick and getting backed up on his work. I'm sure it's worth the wait though, you can't beat his work.
I miss my old C10, why is it every time you sell a bike you end up missing it? It's pretty cool seeing one over here on Chinariders, looks like you are making this one your own for sure.

She's looking real nice.

Wow looks great! I've owned a couple connie's great bikes. Been thinking about making the Voyager into a cafe.

That might actually be a bigger pig than my C10.

after getting this done and sitting on it, it's a long reach to the bars. once I lower them it will feel more so. I'm thinking that it may work well with a long and more narrow cafe style tank. the thing I can't much get away from is how big the motor is. but hey...that's the platform I started with. for now, I'll just be happy to be riding it!

AJboughtamoto · 02-02-2020, 01:38 PM

Haha yeah she's a big girl. The engine is wonderful though. I've never seen one done, I imagine she would be a beast with a few hundred pounds worth of fairings and luggage removed.

That would be a cool and unique project AJ! If you go that route be sure and snap some pics for us. I've heard nothing but good things about the Voyager engine.

I guess I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised there are actually a few photos out on the web for a Voyager conversion. It looks nice too! it also gave me an idea about an alternative tank idea!
