I have been reading on here about a 4 way flasher mod and a LED headlight mod and I am sure there are others I do not know about yet. Is there a place on here that list suppliers of this kind of stuff? It would very helpful to have a list like that.

You pretty much have to search through the threads or articles describing the modification for details about parts. To have an up-to-date list of parts and suppliers for modifications would take a tremendous amount of time, and there wouldn't be a consensus on which part/supplier is best or what is the best way to do something. The only non-OEM parts list I can immediately recall is Jeff K's list of generic parts, i.e. non-Honda-OEM parts that will fit and work, such as oil filters and timing belts. As far as four-way flashers are concerned, it can be done with an auto parts store generic flasher and switch, or you can spend some money and get an electronic unit that does four-ways, automatic signal cancellation, and one or two more functions from one of our members and VRCC sponsors, here: https://jerseymcproducts.bigcartel.com/ |

The after market for a low production motorcycle that is 18 years post production is going to be limited. Even OEM parts are starting to become less available. Your imagination may be your best bet in customizing your ride. The internet and this board has a lot of knowledge on all things Valkyrie. Good luck in your quest.

Not real and not at all are similar but different. The page hasn't been accurately updated in many years. |

Rami, for now the 4way flasher. I do Patriot Guard Rides and that would be good for that. I am new to the Valkyrie and just would like to find out what is out there for these bikes both past and present. Thanks Dannie

MOST of the reason-P G R Escorts-da prez and I installed the 4-way flasher mod on Phatt Ghurl. We performed that mod with instructions from this board. Installed a marine grade water proof switch for the 4-ways near the seat unlock key point. The center section for the side covers. Lotsa reading here on ALL things Valkyrie and udder "stuff"!  RIDE SAFE. |

6adan, like for most bikes, you used to be able to go to Dennis Kirk, J & P Cycles, Honda Direct Line, etc, and type in your make and model, and get a big drop down box (maybe pages long) of all the stuff they had for sale for it. For years, HDL even carried a whole complete section just for Valk parts. (The people that bought HDL a few years ago sh!t-canned that section shortly after they bought it).
Because the bike is so long out of production, that is no longer true. In fact, today you can even boot up a lot of parts that actually fit our bikes perfectly, but when you hit the check-for-fitment box, it doesn't even list the Valk, even though it fits it (like Aeromach Honda risers).
Kuryakyn is still pretty good about listing Valk fitment for what they sell.
So like has been said above, today, rather than go shopping for everything that fits Valks (and pick what you want), you have to go looking for exactly what you want, then find out if it fits or not (or if it can be made to fit).
