I’ve never seen anything like that before. They did a nice job though.

One-off for sure.  Though it may have been cannibalized from something else and moved/modded to the Valk.

It doesn't look like it would be for a fuel tank at all (quick release fuel lines?).  More like a modular setup for mounting a movie camera or something.

The lower flat-rail outboard of the fender does not look like a trailer hitch either.

It seems like the upper rack and lower rail are designed to do something in combination.

The tank destruction doesn't look like a wipeout; more like something fell on it, or the bike fell off a trailer.

Could have been some sort of parade bike?

found the ebay listing.  The additional plastic looking rear turn signals are interesting also.
