You have to store your pics on a online service like Photobucket. Then copy the [img] link and paste it in your post. Welcome to the asylum! You're gonna like it here. Lots of good people with lots of sperience with these bikes. Hay  Jimmyt P.S. Can't wait to see your bike! |

Beautiful bike, I agree with Jimmy...the only thing it needs is to be ridden! Curious about the wheels...where did you find them?

N-I-C-E! She's a real beauty. Many custom shops would replace the taillight with a flush LED setup.

Man youve done a fantastic job. Very tastefully done! So far as I can see not much else needs to be done. Were it mine the only thing left to do would be braided lines and cables.
Absolutely perfect paint job!!! One of the best I have seen and I have been looking for a long time because I want to do something similar to mine at some point. Im just not creative enough. Did you design that paint job yourself and have someone do it for ya or did your painter come up with the design?

Looks great...except it has too much chrome. You need to take some of it off and send it to me! |

The Wheel are from Bikers Image. 21" and no feder mod required. I polished the fork tubes and the center of the front rotors. It has 6degree tripple trees and the paint was done by Miguels Psycle Paint in Mesa Az. I lowered the bike. The fairing is a Woodys fairing.

What you should do... is sell it to me REAL cheap. I mean stOOpid cheap... and start over on a new one. In all seriousness. That is a nicely done bike dude. I don't really like the bat-wings. But I like it on yours. Jabba |

Beautiful bike, very well done. The only things left that I can see is the radiator hose and switching to stainless brake lines.

Absolutely beautiful, you did a REALLY NICE JOB Where is the front wheel from? Judging from the lush green grass, you are in Florida or Arizona? Someone mentioned stock seat, yup, that's gotta go. Your bike is too cool for that.  Maybe something low, brown and custom to match your great paint theme? |

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Ill try to answer some questions now. The bike is lowered, it has 11.5" springs in the back and the 6degree rake in the front lowered the front to match the back. It rides great and didn't change the ride much. The wheels are from Bikers Image and the only place in the country I could find that would make wheels for the valk. Rear floorboard are there for when I take my kids for rides but they fill that empty space when I dont have a passenger. I live in Albuquerque NM so I get to ride most of the year. I do have a ultimate big boy seat but I dont like the look of it so i dont use it. I agree i need a custom one. Some thing i will be doing next will be some new handlebars, new truck stacks, Stereo(working on that now), and seat. I have been working on this bike for 3 years and it is endless.
