I am taking of my six to six pipes off and going back with stock pipes, besides the dealer where can I get the nuts and or maybe the studes just in case they come out of the engine, but hoping I just need the new nuts. any thoughts or would it be just as good to go to dealer. TIA. Danny  |

If they are all there, you shouldn't need any, I've had mine off lots of times. If the studs come out of the head, put them back in with some blue locktite on them.

If you have to get new nuts.
Any ACE hardware will have them in stainless.
I got 12 new ones washers and cap nuts at ACE for my pipes.
Reminds me I should check to make sure they are all still tight.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

I would also replace the crush gaskets while you're in there. Dealer should have them cheap.

The hardware store ones will be regular acorn nuts. Most on our Honda have a flange, not sure if the exhuast ones are flanged or not, I think they are not. |

The hardware store ones will be regular acorn nuts. Most on our Honda have a flange, not sure if the exhuast ones are flanged or not, I think they are not. I always thought that the Valkyrie header nuts were deeper than any you could find at the hardware store, and that people who used other than OEM nuts ended up adding a extra regular nut to make up for the difference... not so cosmetically nice, but on the other hand, the two nuts could be locked against one another - the OEM nut can't be torqued down very hard... I googled for a picture of the OEM nut, and found this bit of Valkyrie wisdom... The Honda Valkyrie is a Harley Davidson-style pan-head cruiser motorcycle manufactured

If you use stainless nuts be absolutely certain you use a good anti sieze or they may never come off again...use something heat resistant like C5A. I use it to lube the thrust reverser mechanism and I never have T/R linkage problems.
