Another Valkyrie is reborn and road worthy, the project bike is done and after much work and 7 plus years of resting she is ripping down the road as a Phat Gurl should. This is by far my greatest Valkyrie accomplishment to date, I'm grinning as much as Walt is who was very appreciative of my time and effort. We had a few hiccups along the way but was able to work through them or just buy the parts that were missing. We went for a ride together and stopped at our spot that fate had us meet some 4 or 5 months ago.  cooldude

 Oh and I picked up another Valkyrie today, I always wanted a Bumblebee   Cool

You did good big guy.

I did several carb rebuilds in the past for myself and a few more members.  It was always good to see the smiles on the faces of the owners when they realized how well it ran afterwards.  Good on you Mike, I see he gave it a thumbs up.

Great job Mike! My Phat Gurl still runs better than ever after I rebuilt all six carbs. Unfortunately Viv has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancerback on July 1, so my priorities have changed. Even the Indian is just sitting. It’s amazing how much something like that changes things.
