I am wondering if anyone of you have information on a business or individual that sells aftermarket Valkyyrie wheels? Or if wheels from other bikes may work? I have been searching online, made phone calls to places all over the country, and I have had no luck at all. Thanks in advance for your time.  |

There were a few early on but none anymore. Apparently very few sets were sold because I almost never see any. For a short time RC Components in Bowling Green Ky made some but me being the cheap scoundrel I am never pulled the trigger. I don’t know of any crossover that would work either.

The best option is to have the old wheels powder coated.

Honda Shadow 1100 Tourer has a 10 spoke 16". Might be able to flip it over and use it? Front is a 18" single disc, probably not an option but hell ole' KZ900's were single disc up front and drum rear.  |

I have a business about a mile from me that quoted chroming them for $150 a wheel. I may just go that route. Thanks all! |

Query atticrat-Bob Smith-on this. He may or may not be of some help there. After being in his shop area I'm inclined to believe he can help. RIDE SAFE.

I'm in the process of getting mine polished and clear coated. I decided to paint the "spoke" area of the wheels blue to match my bike. But first I have to get them polished. Been talking to local power coating guy who is going to try some new process he has to clear them without powder. I will post pics and let you know how it works.

Good luck, and do let us know... you see the ones Honda clear coated in 2003 or whatever sometimes and they still look great. -Mike |
