I have been looking for pipes for my '14 Valk, and what I have found is that every company I have reached out to claimed that their pipes for the F6b and goldwing won't fit the valk. Does anyone have any experience installing or using Cobra or other pipes on their Valks? I am most interested in the Cobra 3 into 3.

I would bet they will fit at the engine; but the 2014+ Valk muffler sections are considerably shorter then the stock GL1800 and F6B muffler sections.

Which means you would have to fab some rear mounts. And unless they were to be hidden by Corbin or custom saddlebags, fabbing the muffler mounts could be difficult to implement and remain … non-aesthetically challenged...  Roll Eyes

If you are mechanically inclined, you might pick up a GL1800 exhaust pipe/muffler for one side on ebay, and see what you can do.  I think it's possible; but the aftermarket pipe vendors are apparently to lazy to figure it out; prolly not enough potential sales to devote the time.

All the pipes for the F6B and full wing have the muffler mount further back by about 4".  It is possible.  You would have to look for a universal mount to put on the pipes, but the pipes do sick out past the back of the fender by about 4".  Although, you could cut the pipes down, I guess, depending on the pipes.
