SINCE OUR "FAT GIRLS" HAVE ALOT IN COMMON WITH GOLDWINGS, WILL THE ADJUSTABLE LEVERS FROM A 'WING FIT THE VALKS?

The short answer is yes. There is a single cut that you have to make on one of them though. I took a quick look through shop talk but didn't see it there. Someone will come along that knows the details.

There's a tab that needs to be cut off of the clutch lever; see http://forums.delphiforums.com/valkyrie/messages?msg=13360.1I also found that my brake light would stay on unless I pushed the lever with a finger. A member (can't remember who, but am eternally grateful) told me to grind off a bit on the bottom of the brake lever because it pinches. Look on the bottom of the brake lever, you'll see a raised circle of metal, about 2mm high. I ground this off and the lever works perfectly. Fred. |

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES. I'M 45 AND GETTING SOME ARTHRITIS IN SOME HANDS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKE UP AND HAVE MORE MILES THAN YEARS. THERE IS A SET OF LEVERS IN J&P CATALOG THAT MAY BE COMING TO MY HOUSE. I HAD TO GET THE WIDE LEVERS FOR MY 07 SHADOW SPIRIT AS THE ORIGINAL ONES FELT LIKE THEY WERE SEPERATING MY FINGER JOINTS HOLDING THE CLUTCH AT STOPLIGHTS. OK, I'M A WIMP HAHA

Nowhere does it say, you cannot put the bike in neutral, while at a stoplight.

Agreed!! I've had more than 1 quick escape that would have been impossible if the bike were in neutral. |
