Yes.......
If it says it will fit a VTX, it will fit the Valk.
Last I knew, HDL stocked them.

Will not, unless you do a little grinding on "foot" of kick stand. You need to grind off a little to be able to slide on and set screw to tighten. You need to paint spots with silver paint to stop rust from forming Been there.  |

Last I knew, Mike Terry (Valkyrie Bling) had a few. I got one from him at InZane.

I know you don't have flats anymore, but if it is extended higher, the bike will tend to fall over to the right easier. That being said, I put one on Iris's bike, it made it easier to get off the stand. I found a Valk part for hers.

Yeah, I got those flat tires out of my system when I left Fl.!  I'm thinkin about going with a 'taxi' CT next time and for some reason, my bike seems to feel like it leans pretty deep on the stand now and the taxi is about 1" taller, soooo - - - - - - -! |

The same grindings on the Valkyrie have to be done on the VTX & vicea/versa. I've put mucho many of these on for our VRCC members, and every damn one of them had to be ground on. And I'm referring to the original ones Rivco put out, and also the later ones for the VTX. They are the same damn part, just have a different part #. I used to help Rich install these things at various Rallies. |

The I bought for the VTX would not slide on far enought until grinding a little off.  |

You are just like my kids, ya want to argue about any and all answers/responses.
NO, it was a plug and play on Rich's bike, but those kick stands were not all created equal..
He deicded it was not worth the $$$$$ to change the mold so, yupper, you is correct, they are not Plug & Play.
Now, would ya please let sleeping dogs lay? Tanx.
I'm done talkin about it.
