I posted this on the tech board and thought I would put it here as well"
Hey, Im thinking of making enough changes to one valk so as to be differnt from my 2 up Valk. I have seen numerous bobbed type fenders. And some look like stockers that have been cut and some look to be custom. I am looking for thoughts and suggestions. I am also looking at putting drag bars on and losing the windshiels (full face required). I have also seen some pretty radical exhaust out there. Oh and Im trying to do this as cheaply as possible.
Thanks in advance

What would be real cool, someone who did what I am thinking about doin and they want to go back to stock tourer get up. Did that when I wanted a Red and White Valk, met a guy on one of my first ride to the UP of MI.
We met up and swapped tins and I had a Red and White '98

How about a "Rat Rod" look. Used parts were not put on my bike but I did do a bit of homework.   |

Sweet Valk Momz,
Yes Im just looking for a different look on one of the Valks. We are keeping one for 2 up and then chsnging up the other one, that either one of us (but not both at the same time) can enjoy.
Thanks for the input

I'm pretty sure that the front fender from the VTX1800c is a direct fit.

I know this is an old post I'm tacking onto, but I've been thinking along the same line, but looking for a new front and rear fender, as I want to keep the original in case I want to go back. Just wondered if anyone had "bought" custom fenders anywhere. I'm thinking I could also pick up a used front and rear valk fender, possibly, and grind, cut, weld up a new pair. I've got the tools for cutting, welding, grinding, just not for forming. Thanks! |

The thought of acquiring (from salvage) and modifying fenders is most practical. Consider VTX for the front. |
