SO is new to the Valkyrie she is 5'6" tall and weight 118 lbs. All I can say is that girl can ride a bike like no other I have ever rode with and hold some of the best lines that I have followed.
She has been riding her own bike for 5 years now started with a VLX600 then to a VTX1300R and now the Valkyrie. Its great to have your best friend be your biker mate

Likely is TNT, aka Vickie. She is, maybe, 5'1" but, man, she can ride!

Here in Wisconsin, the state law says that a rider must be able to rest their feet flat on the foot pegs. My son couldn’t ride with me for the longest time!

I know a female Valk rider who's 5' nuthin'. She lives in AZ and her hubby is on the board too. As she's not my SO; I'll refrain from any weight estimates. She has ridden all over the country though.

Snoopy, when I read the subject line, your wife was the 1st person that I thought of!!! Been anywhere riding lately? 2 weeks ago, I did almost 1000 miles on the Valk, no trip, just the general area. It was great weather for work!!!  Charles

I'll go with Vivki (TN) or Connie (AZ).
Both good riders, both been down on a Valk........... Deer and a slide out in a curve.
Also, both have lots of miles under their belts.
Both bikes have been lowered.

I'd go with TNT. She's 4'10" or 4'11". She didn't really lower the bike in the traditional way. She's got stock shocks, a custom Corbin seat and a low-profile sport bike tire on the front...oh...and risers. And she can ride the wheels off it tho she's rather fond of her Kaw, too, I hear  I got a chance to sit on her bike and it stood up like a bike half its size....felt really light. I haven't had the chance to grill F6Gal on how she fitted her Valk to her needs. "Stuff" always got in the way of that convo  but one of these days....

The only thing I have done was a Ultimate low rider seat and risers, Vic can almost flat foot the bike may need to get different shocks but so far she has done great, put over 1000 miles on it last week end. She is always ready to ride think she likes it as much as I do. She needs some more slow speed parking lot practice to build up her confidence thats something that we do almost weekly. I asked her if she was ready to ride my wing ( so I can get to ride the Valkyrie) she said nope you ant gonna take my bike away from me. Guess she knows me but the Valkyrie is one great ride.

TNT has been a member since year 1 of the VRCC. She was at Inzane I as well as a couple of Inzanes since. She probably never registered on this new board, her attention has gone in other directions & bikes. I think she still has the Valk though.

DANG, what is the "in-seam" on these 5 foot gals ??? At 4`11" one would need LOOOONG legs in order to touch the ground.  Bottom line, I think it is not how tall but how long are the legs.

Vicki is shorter than moi. She's either 4'11 or 5' even. She's also been Valking longer than I. I rode a Vulcan to the VOA rally in Montrose; while there, I had the opportunity to sit on Vicki's bike. As soon as I got home, I hit the internet for some serious Valk shopping. A week later my Valkyrie was in the garage.
I couldn't stay away from the garage. I'd go out there, grab a chair, and just stare at the beautiful beast... heart fluttering like one anticipating a long awaited first date.
BTW, I've ridden the Valkyrie to each and every InZane.

She wont register because she dont have a valk  She rides one of 'em once in a while but has to lean too far to be comfortable. Willow showed her several lowered dragons in CO but she is hard to convince. She said a Side hack would do the trick tho' !  Then she'll probably teach her dog to ride a valk , and she can take it grocery shoppin too! who needs a mini-van?

Pretty blue, Low as a Valk can go, Blue cloth on the custom blue seat with about 1 inch removed and the forks moved up in the tree a bit?

Sorry to hear about your deficiencies, both your memory and, um, well, whatever you were talking 'bout. Mine is the Blue/Silver I/S SuperValk. And, yes, she's pretty much as low as she'll go. Here's a pic of Lil' Bit taking it for her first spin on a Valkyrie. (Lil' Bit isn't street legal yet, but she loved her parking lot romp.)

My Lori's (Motomama) was the Blue and Cream Standard.
Kansas is a common property state. She owns at least half of one that I know of. Tough looking ride, too. Tell her to sign up.
I know who approves the applications and he's done much worse.

yup, back when my (now ex) girlfriend's youngest couldn't reach the back floorboards I dug the original rear pegs out of the big box of take-offs and made some aux. mounts for them;  you can see the OEM peg folded back against the shock.
