Cruise Concepts: www.cruiseconcepts.biz(Domain has expired, but I have their contact info...) They built a set of solids for one of my Valkyries last year. When I get them installed I'll post pix. |

RC Components used to offer wheels with Valkyrie fitment, but it looks like they've discontinued that. I've never spoken with them, but maybe they could "tool up" for a short run.

These are RC Billet Sheriff model. Lucked into them a few years ago. Believe the wheels are still being made but they quit making the Valk Hubs. I havent looked into it, but probably could buy a different pattern wheel to fit my hubs. Also saw where someone adapted a set of custom wheels from another application, think they had to machine some spacers and such to get them to fit though.  |

www.performancemachine.com on the phone with them. they told me during bikeweek in september that they would be willing to make the hubs so that any of their wheels would fit the valk. I am making sure thatthis is still a standing offer. more info to come.

They won't...I called before I ordered mine from Cruise... That's too bad. Who's Cruise? These are RC Billet Sheriff model. Hey Master Blaster, missed you at hotglue's. I couldn't make it, but when I was looking through Wanderer's pics and saw your beauty, I thought I recognized your wheels as the RC Sheriffs. I sure would love to have a pair  |
