I'm riding through Vegas on the 14th, around noon. I would like to come by the "Hogs & Heifers" Saloon and check it out, I'd give almost anything to take it around the block to get a idea what it is like to ride on a automobile tire. I can't get my mind around it. It sure is pretty....

Love the concept. While not having a front fender might look cool, getting rain thrown at you and your radiator along with rocks and other road debris is not so terrific. Even a small fender helps with that.

I like these Valyrie rat/bobbers and the way the engine REALLY gets to be the centre of attention.
I visualize a bike like that with flat bars and a seat that doesn't have the "butt hump" on it. Much smoother to flow into the tail piece. That'd be my bobbed Valkyrie.

I like the stacked flat head lights. I would recommend a third one on top of the two you have. It looks like you have room and would be different. Overall a cool vision of individualism. I like it. Ride safe. |

I like it.
I wanted to build something similar,...and I still may.
Mine would have a chopped forward of the rear fender, a VTX C front fender, no crash bars, blacked out stock head light and other differences.
But everyone has their own vision, so I will say: GOOD JOB!
Have fun and be prepared to spend a lot of time explaining what it is. Most bobber/custom Valks get more attention from people that can't seem to understand what they are.

I love it! The engine must be the center of attention on a Valk, it's such a beautiful thing! I have some plans for a winter customising of my Valk and was a bit concerned about mentioning it on here, but the response to your bike has been deservedly openminded. I used to own a V65 Magna and when I declared my intention to bob it on a V4 site, man, if I'd have been in Texas, those gennlmen would have lynched me! |

I REALLY like it. . . . I think many of us would, if we could, build ‘something’ along the same lines. I love the use of ‘black’, the view from the rear, the exhaust pipe and finally; the rear fender. Building something like that is definitely an “individual taste” thing. There are a couple things I would do differently, but the overall effect is very appealing. I’ve always had the desire, but lack the extra money and honestly, the time!
Nice build brother!

I like it but I'm with Anvil re. no fender, especially since you don't have any guard over the radiator. That will eventually cost you. I'd chop a shortie fender that hangs mostly behind the forks, then black out a radiator grille and side covers. It won't take away from your project and eventually save radiator repair. Believe me....Old Man Experience talking here.
