Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager Tour Pack Removal

Here's a video showing how I modified my 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700 to be able to remove the tour pack. This conversion will work the same on any year model. I hope it is helpful.

That's awesome, thanks for documenting it!

[@ReginaldDwight-ox3bq]

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

[@les5386]

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.

[@metricOIL]

That's how you do it!! Make stuff fit.

Greetings WoW, what a fantastic detailed video 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸. Keep producing more videos.

[@darkhorse2reign]

Bravo! Very creative and practical! Well done sir!

[@EcSsAwS]

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

[@curtisbarrow7650]

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....

Great ingenuity! Awesome job!

Nice work, well explained!

Good video man. Thanks.

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?

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

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.

[@joshclark9717]

@@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

Brother you could have a good business there.

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🤔

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

I haven’t seen a way to do it without messing up the alignment of the side “chrome” plastic covers.

[@mrfixitpa]

@@cyclehawkmotolife Agreed. I've thought about this as well but it the chrome plastic that won't work.

[@FlipsmooveDoubleR]

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

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

@@FlipsmooveDoubleR 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.

[@scottvessey2944]

What did you use to cut the chrome plastic? how did you mark it?

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

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.

Nomad backrest bolts right

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

That I do not know. Sorry.

[@jackal3911]

@@cyclehawkmotolife Sorry, I mean it does. I have one on my 2010

[@deanblanton-fh3gq]

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.

[@patrickprince8446]

Kawasaki vaquero would probably be the better bike and just add back rest... For me 🤔 interesting video though

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

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.

[@jperez5426]

I'm sorry i like the conversion. Why not just get you a Vaquero. Just saying.

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

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.

[@C_MacC23]

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

[@cyclehawkmotolife]

@@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.

[@C_MacC23]

@@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.

[@user-ht4fs7ds2c]

That was not smart that bike was designed to have box on it not just a back rest

[@coltwinchester6124]

Easier to get rid of the wife, and ride solo😊
