Once upon a time custom wheels from RC Components etc were available. But alas... no more. ... at least to my knowledge.

There was a thread here a couple of months ago about wheels and it had a couple of links in it. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,2486.0.htmlIn addition, I was recently talking to one our Texas Valkyrie brothers and he said he knows a company in E Texas who will make them. I'll reach out and re-post with contact info.

If you are looking for chrome wheels, these are chromed stocker wheels and look super. Contact Hard6, he has a link and I can't remember it right off, and this is not my home cmputer. I'm standing by the phone at the Fire Dept for about an hour......... He lives in Louisiana and runs a lot with Strider....... I'm trying to send him an email. Alerting him to your request.

I met the "then owners" of this company (Custom Dream Cycles) at the Sunshine Mall in 03 or 04 and they were some good folks. I kept their business card for a couple of years because at that time they still had a few sets of drive hubs for the Valkyrie and were offering a good deal on a set of wheels, which I still couldn't afford. They were already feeling the slow down in sales of Valk accessories. They had brought a VTX 1800 with them showing their wheel work and some other mods they were offering. At the time it was the baddest (fastest) VTX I had ever witnessed.I was able to snap a few pics of that bike but no real close ups of the wheels but they did look like they were well made and finished. I don't know if the same people own it now but they were a lot of fun to talk with.   The Wing in the background belongs to a buddy of mine and my Valkyrie can be seen just to the left. The pregnant guy in the second shot is another buddy of mine. Wonder how much a set of shocks like this would lower a Valk??

My buddy doesn't know the company name or website, but the phone number is 903-842-4344. Ask for Ronnie Weeks. He is the owner. I believe they do custom work for Motor Trike and will do Valkyrie wheels.
