 Newest addition to the stable and now I am done..............  for real................. I swear.......  Grin

Deal I could not pass up and I have always liked the Blue/Silver combo, it was actually the first color combo Valk I tried to buy when I first got into Valks but seller and I could not come to terms so the Black Interstate turned out to be the first one.

This one came as a full blown Interstate with 50k, so this is what I did to it:

Removed trunk
Changed big shield to a smaller shield
Eliminated the lid racks (I like the clean look)
Changed chrome side covers to color matched side covers
Got the fairing chrome garnishes color matched
Changed stock exhaust to Mark T exhaust
New tires since the ones on there were old
New timing belts
Removed pods


and she is ready to roll  cooldude

I do believe I have said that before with retractions.    As always Jack nice work and slick ride!  I guess my pod-less creation had an effect?

An artist never paints his last painting, he just waits for his next inspiration. The bike looks great, I too love the color combination.

Nice job Jack cooldude

Looks a little different than when I saw her last (mo better) How many different looks can I get out of a Valkyrie award!!...each of yours is magnificently different. Well done.

Heading out to blow the stink off...maybe someone will be at the dumpster.

Your creations are to good to never show up again Jack, please reconsider when the next can't pass it up deal comes along. Very well done. Does the Ultimate seat on there have the nose trimmed off ?

Undeniable fact is that there will be some absolutely killer deals with the economy going the way it is. Some will lose and some will buy at bargain basement deals.
So....what model next, Jack?

Very nice Jack! Very classy look. It looks like you stripped all the fat off my girl and made a sleek, sexy runway model out of her. I can't wait to see them side by side after this Covid 19 is gone.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
It was not much in the customizing department, more of a add/remove parts depending on personal liking.

Truth be told i did contemplate the idea of selling two of the bikes but quickly retracted specially after the fam (wife, daughter and son)  jumped and said I should keep them  Grin so for now they will stay and I will enjoy them.




Jerry, I did steal a page of your book, I decided to go pod less.


Thunderbolt, Time you say.... Now I have to ride them and keep them clean  Smiley


Jimmy and Earl, the shield is a Harley Roadglide shield, if you decide to go that route I have to warn you that it does add some buffeting depending on your height and type of helmet you wear.


Tundra, good eye, last time you seen her she still was not completely stripped down and was missing some of her color add ons.

Sixlow, the seat is a stock pan that seems to have been recovered with an Ultimate cover, it came with one of the past bikes and for some reason it is super comfortable so I just kept it, it is shorter at the nose.


Flsix and Pappy, I have to stop at some point and I think this is it, I did have a project bike that I just sold and also sold some of the parts that were intended for it, had to get the temptation out of the garage  Grin


Dan, look forward to the pic opportunity once we get back to riding  cooldude


Woody, yes that is the bike you seen in my garage, all done with the changes  cooldude

Some of the motorcycle forums I go to have a different format. You can "like" posts the same way you can on FB and the like. Sir, if I could "like" this post, and even better, "like" it repeatedly, I would. That's a fine lookin' bike, for sure. The color, the shield, the lack o' trunk and pods; it all comes together well. Fine job, sir.  cooldude

That looks very nice, Jack.  It looks like a new bike and you didn't spend $30,000 for it.  You should be proud.  It still amazes me how you can get a bike, fix it up and make it yours, and in record time.  You're making me look bad!  Actually, I guess I'm making myself look bad!   Smiley
