Although there have been many interested queries regarding aftermarket wheels for the Valkyrie and some aftermarket supply house still say they will be able to supply the wheels, there have yet to be any positive results from anyone who has tried to locate any kind of aftermarket wheels for the Valkyrie.
There have been on occasion some posted pictures of custom wheels on a Valkyrie that were very nice looking wheels. I think they must be very old from a time that aftermarket wheels for the Valkyrie were available.
The latest post on this forum was about a reply from an aftermarket supplier that a custom front wheel would be in the neighborhood of 1300 dollars and there was no additional pictures or information offered.
I think and have stated before that aftermarket wheels for the Valkyrie are no longer available and is "pie in the sky".
This is not to say that some enterprising concern with a CDC machine could get some billet and machine-out a wheel for you. Money not withstanding!

These guys no longer sell for the Valkyrie. They claim to when you get a certain person, but just try to actually get a wheel and see what happens. It will never materialize. There are no custom wheels available for the Valk anymore. Go order 2001 wheels (or later) from honda $300-$500 depending on front or rear. The 2001 are polished, come with new bearings and a new cush drive (dampers).

Not custom, but polished.......someone posted a link to someone on ebay a week or two ago that was selling polished Valkyrie wheels. Front and rear.

I just picked up a set of chrome wheels on eBay. I'm pleased so far. The chrome is in all the right places and none in the wrong places.

Ricky-D, didn't you read Joe's post? He has the Duce custom aluminum front wheel.
Look again at his avatar. The front wheel is NOT stock and neither is the fender.

Yes Jimmy, I did not say they were never available, just that they are
no longer available
.
Regarding the avatar, I
see
the different wheel. As to how that was accomplished I cannot say, except to the fact that it is a step backwards to replace a cast wheel with a spoked wheel. Much more unreliable and the resultant more dangerous.
Of course the important qualifier in the equation is money. If you're willing to spend enough money, you can get just about anything!

The wheels are still available through the Bikers Image site posted above. Spend the time and call them like I did and others who have purchased from them.
