The price very close to what I paid a year ago I guess this is the correct price and should be available whenever needed. I changed mine based soon age I only had about a 3000 miles on the bike but being a 98 they were 20 years o,d. For the record they looked like new but I changed them anyway.

Wow! You are so lucky to have a Valk with just 3,000 miles on it! I bought a 98 Tourer with 26,000 miles on it and thought I was doing good.

Sometimes things are better to be used a bit just to keep things fresh mine sat for a long time took a little time to have a comfort level that everything was good. Tires were brand new but things like belts concerned me hence why I changed them so early. It is an easy job took much less time then I expected! Best of luck.

Bought a couple as well. Too darned convenient to just push a "buy now" button and see them on your doorstep in 2 days.

One set will be installed on my 2000 Standard and the other set will go on my 1994 Goldwing trike. The belts on these bikes have never been changed. The plan is to install my 6 degree trigger wheel and check the valve adjustment on the 2000 at the same time. I bet the Valk will be a lot easier to do than the Goldwing. We'll see.
