A while back I posted that I wanted to build a "post apocalyptic, neo-industrial" Valk bobber. I've always been intrigued by Russell Mitchel and his EXCILE style motorcycles.

The deal fell through and I thought that maybe I should forget the project alltogether.

Well low and behold another orphan Valk appeared.

I now have a reason to get my creative juices flowing. This will be the lightest lowest and most unusual Valk I have or will ever build. Utility is of no concern,....just the bare essentials to make it go down the road.

Nice drag bars! I like the way the Valk looks without the tank. Too bad you need it...

That's a WICKED COOL idea Cool, shave down the real tank as much as possible give it a minimal size kinda chopper small, mostly just as a filler spout for the 3 gallon belly tank. So the top tank might only be a bit over a reserve size,, cooldude,, Evil,, coolsmiley,,

Good luck and I am sure yo will have lots of excitement good and maybe not so good.
