Quite awhile back someone posted a customized gen 2 Valk. Not sure who posted it, I think from Europe. I think it was Cream and Maroon (not sure).
Anyone able to locate it on here or elsewhere?

Yep, that's the one. Is it yours? I'm interested in how the chrome frame covers (Kuryakyn?) were extended to the top. Also if the tranny cover is the Kuryakyn Goldwing cover. My bike keeps begging me for more chrome.  |

No, it is not mine. I am always building something so I keep photos of pieces that have good lines. This bike due to the colors and there placement along with accessories changed the design look and line of the bike so it was collected.

I remember that Russian bike.
It's not as wildly custom, but I sure like the looks of Britman's bike with the old school bags... Hubcap's is an honorable mention as well. Dealing with too many fuel issues gets me thinking about these things.
Time will tell.

Looks like a mobile ice cream parlor.

The bike is good. Saturday chugging along at 45 in 5th. Loooong straight ahead of me. Rolled on the gas and 100 just like that. When riding it you can't see the fugliness so much  |

My son tells me horse power and trap speed are more important than appearance.

Most all the chrome will fit from a Goldwing, there are a few exceptions but not much.
