I am looking for the front fender rail that you have to drill a hole in the fender tip to attach it. I've been looking everywhere I can think of to look. I believe it was an original accessory (chrome) for the Valkyrie. I don't have a picture of one, but in Westsider's post about his purple and white that he has for sell, there is one on it. TIA    Mike

Six Guns, that is the one I am looking for. Don't think I will find one for that price, but that is it. Thanks for the link to the picture.      Mike

Mike,
Be sure to drill the fender and bolt in place. I tried not drilling the fender and thought the two back bolts would be enough.  The constant vibration took its toll, after 2 years it broke in front of both back bolts. I had to bust out 2 franklins to get another one, but used the front bolt this time cooldude

T-Bird, that is exactly what happened to mine, only I had drilled the hole in the fender. I just hadn't checked the tightness of the bolt in a long time. Apparently, it has been missing for quite some time. The wife and I were out for a ride a couple of weeks ago, and as we went around a corner, the fender rail went flying by us. I thought it had just come unbolted, but it had broken. Thanks for the heads-up just the same.       Mike

Paxton,

  I was searching the internet looking for the  front fender rail that Mike in AR was wanting when I found it on that website. I can't navigate the website either. You might want to call them and see what they have. I don't think that it is still available.    Embarrassed

I want to thank everyone for their help ans suggestions. Mike Terry of Valkyrie Bling e-mailed me and said that he still had a couple. I told him that I would buy one, and the deal was made. Again, thanks for your help and advice. Oh, and Six Guns, I think I will get into the habit of checking that bolt to be sure that it is tight.  lol

Good for you! I want to see if they have any left for my other Valk.
BTW, you really could get away without drilling the fender. As suggested in this board, I used a trimmed piece of  Velcro.  Smiley
I rode her from LA to New York at very high speeds and the thing hasn't moved. Just my experience. ???
Better yet, use clear silicone. Lips Sealed
