That's definitely a color that should make you visible to the cagers. I'm sensing a theme of "holy sunglasses batman, those are brightly colored motorcycles"  among your stable. Green is not my style, but nice job on the color combination. Of course if that yellow and black ever needs some attention, well, that IS right up my alley! |

I like a BRIGHT Ride I wont ever loose my bike in a crowd You have JUST added to the degree of difficulty of "losing" a Valkyrie in a crowd. If I'm on a large ride and we are parked somewhere I can follow the crowd back to my Phatt Ghurl!  All that aside-lookin good on the new paint scheme and color choice. RIDE SAFE. |

I dig it. Quite the collection of Skittles you've got started there. You need to buy a few more Valks.  |

Well JT I am not big on red or black which this was both before the paint 90 % are one or the other I gotta get outside the box so to speak Bighead, couldn't agree more! As I was looking to buy a Valk. I looked at many but the best one, ie price, condition and so on. It was/is black. I really did not want black. I bought it, love it and ride it. I live here in NE Ohio, so my days are numbered. Hoping to be able to swing ($) a paint job over the winter. Already found a set of Interstate Bags for it. Still trying to come up with a color. Leaning towards BRIGHT Orange.  Anyway your bike looks great! Love the color! I'll be looking for finished pics! Bumblebee is a looker too!. |

Barry, Have you thought about painting the inner fairing to match? I have seen a few done and it looks great. My speaker pods are sanded and painted gloss black to match paint.

I gotta say, I really liked the bright orange with the white racin' stripe. It was Doug that painted his Valk that way. If I remember correctly he was out of the Carolinas. That was a while back and I don't remember his handle. |
