Does anyone know if there is a dark side tire that will fit the 2014 valkyrie?

Yep.....  got about 3k miles on it now.  Love it.  Rides great, looks great.....and will likely last awhile.   It only cost 60 bucks on Amazon.

Check out the "other" site. Here:

There would be more CT options with the 16" GL1800 rear wheel.  FWIW, the GL1800 wheel will bolt right up to the new Valk. It is off center by maybe 1/8"; a machined spacer will get it dead centered again.

I have a CT on my Legacy Valk hack - love it.  Tried it on the solo Legacy Valk - did not like it - seemed to follow road irregularities too much for my taste - and switched back.  

Good luck.

Some tires will give road irregularity feedback and I have had that with some bike tires as well.  I have the Austone Taxi Tire on my Legacy SuperValk and like it better than some other wider ones.  The one I have on the 2014 Valk has been great so far.


Here is the tire I have on.....  price went up a bit, but still under 75 bucks.
