    Okay, who remembers when if you saw a car that looked  fast, and you were up for a race but wanted to know what you were up with at the stop light, you would look at the displacement in small chrome letters on the sides of the fenders, or the hood cowling, or near the tail of the car and you knew!!  Motorcycles used to always put displacement on the side covers. Well, early GL1800 Goldwings did just that, 01-03 Goldwings said HOND 1800 on the chrome strip on the valve covers.  Part #12322-MCA-300 for the right side, and part #12422-MCA-300 for the left side. From 2004 on, it just says HONDA, just like our bikes. If you aren't running Rivco retractable highway pegs, these bolt right on, and is a subtle way to add a little more muscle to our muscle cruisers!!!  Letters and numbers ate indented so a little black paint and they will stand out.

I dig your sense of humor!!  Grin Grin. Funny you mentioned the air grabber, I used to own a 2005 Subaru WRX, then a 2007 Subaru STI, both had the scoop for the Intercooler on top of the hood for their turbocharged flat 4 motor, and when you look down from the riders position of the Valkyrie,  it looks just like a side view of the Subaru hood scoop!!
