...a 99 Valk for a friend tomorrow. This bike:



If it checks out he's gonna buy it. He's got a VN900 now but the power of Valk compels him (riding with two of them in the "group" is bound to do that to ya). I told him that he needs to prepare for assimilation into the cult.

If he buys the Valk, you better teach him the "secret password".

Maybe I can steal his hard bags while he's memorizing it.

The Hwy pegs need moved..... they will drag badly where they are.  A DOT half helmet will not fit in national cycle bags (maybe an XS).  One of my favorite colors though.

That's one of the first things I saw, those cursed pegs are a menace like that.

Are those NC bags? I may have to look into those for mine.

Well Steve I have drug Hwy pegs on my engine guards (mounted at 3 and 9 o'clock)..... but Hwy pegs are really not for the twisties anyway.  To each their own style.
