this last winter my project was to make my Valkyrie Interstate into a Super Valk. it took some time, and actually a lot more money than I thought!! going from a super valk to regular valk only takes about 3 and a half minutes. thanks to all the information that is posted on both the VOAI and VRCC. enjoy the video!

Nice work Alph. I never realized the trunk AND the mount hardware all came off together. Thanks for the movie. |

Very nice! That must have been well thought out to be able to convert in that short amount of time.
Impressive!

Don't you have a ton of LED's in that trunk? I'm surprised you can lift it!  Nice video, and shows just how quick you can change from cross country comfort to around town Hardly Hunter Black Dog |

Great job Alph. Maybe I will do that as well. My wife has her own bike now and I usually don't need the trunk.

I like it, it handles "quicker" and flows into the turns. with the trunk your center of gravity is higher, one guy I know use to have a standard and went to an I/S, he compared it to riding two up verses riding solo Great job Alph. Maybe I will do that as well. My wife has her own bike now and I usually don't need the trunk.
main reason why I did it was because my wife never rides with me. this way she can't think i'm running off to give some other woman a ride |
