How about a side car instead?
You won't have to put your foot down, and when you go touring you will have TONS more storage. Trikes are nice, but I think a matching side car has a retro, nostalgic, atavistic and historical appeal. When my time comes, I'm getting a side car. Plus there will be enough space for BOTH the wife AND the girlfriend.......LOL!!!!

The Voyager does not improve handling. Does not improve ride or braking. It isn't meant to.
It has the primary mission of holding your bike upright. It does at 1/3 the cost of an actual conversion.

Please don't put the training wheel set up on it though - that's just wrong !
