After pulling off the left head and finding slack in the #2 piston I've decided to part my bike out instead of repairing it. It has 2 bros 6x2 slash cut exhaust, web cams and several other goodies if anyone is interested message me.

Thanks

Slammer, make a run over to Baton Rouge and pick up the engine in the link. Less than 20k miles and you get everything but the alternator and starter. Has the airbox and carbs included. Beats killing a perfectly good bike by parting it out.

Don't kill it just because you don't ride it or want to fix it. Somebody will want to do all that and have their dream bike.  cooldude

My 3.5 centavos worth-please sell it to some one that WANTS to fix her up and RIDE.  cooldude There are NO MORE new ones available.  Embarrassed And if you have already made up your mind to part her out i'll shed a quiet tear.  Cry RIDE SAFE.

I was hoping you would come to being open to selling it as is.
While you probably could part the bike out & make more money from it, the labor of the teardown & the aggravation of selling the parts would drive you nuts.
Parting out totaled or badly wrecked Valks is one thing. Killing a Valkyrie needing a simple engine swap out is another.  Cool
