Thanks guys and thank you jack for posting. Just a little history here, this bike started as an interstate therefore the wiring harness was replaced with a standard Valkyrie one, that involves adding standard gauges , triple tree, speedo hub kick stand switch etc...had a man in Orlando fabricate the seat components to fit on fame, also he welded brackets on frame to fit the aftermarket rear fender on and also welded the Tail gunner stacks to about 3" ( these are complete stacks with glass pack and rotating tips) of the OEM pipes where they connect with the headers section and had it all ceramic coated. He also did the paint job. Got all chrome parts powder coated and plastic ones painted then took it all to Bill aka grumpy to install the Valk standard wiring harness as it's completely different from the I/S one. Bill did the rest of the wiring and gauges etc making sure all is functioning as it should and painted the engine block back. thank you bill for the great work. The seat is of a Harley crossbones fitted nicely into a pan that hugs the frame and attaches to it, jack hooked me up with a source on eBay for the rear fender thanks jack, rear turns are V rod, front are some Harley that I wanted them on handlebar, day maker lighting in front, tail gunner pipes rotate on throttle and sound awesome. Enjoy

One of the (many) nice touches is the font/script on your lettering.
I was around the military (and Gov) enough to know that looks exactly like script stencil used on much US Gov property.
Hope the rear pegs don't get you any unwanted attention.

Wow Larue what amazing vision you have for transforming an incredible machine into something "above & beyond" most could achieve. Between you and Jack you guys could just make a living putting theme's into reality, Well, with Bill's help!  I can't wait for a Fall ride to South Central FLORIDA to see both of ya'll creation!  Only a few months away too.

All chrome on the engine was powdercoatoted. The engine itself is spray painted with high temp engine paint.
Thanks for the admiration and the nice words

Unique, different, and one-of-a-kind bikes are what I like to see. Don't get me wrong, a nice clean stock bike is good to look at too. But when we can take a bike from the late '90's and early 00's and breath new life into them, that's a site to behold. And as you can see, one doesn't need to spend thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars, to have a really nice bike. Kiddos to everyone involved on a job well done. |
