Question for you. Found a Valk trike with 18K on the meter. Belongs to a 79 year old man, so I know it hasn't been abused. My only concern is finding parts when needed. I've owned 2 Valks & they were bullet proof, except for tires.
Just like to feel that if I need something, someone will still have it.
Opinions?
Thanks.......
Also, I'd like to add the CB radio. Where's best place to find one/

I don't think parts are, or ever will be an issue.
First and second, it's a Honda. Even though this forum is all about repairs and troubles, I feel most people don't have any trouble. The most common maintenance and possible area of trouble is the yoke to the rear wheel. Being a trike, you don't have that anymore, so there goes your most troublesome area.
There are 7 years of model years out there, with most parts being interchangable, except for the 3 years of the IS with it's specific body parts. Then there are what, 10's of K bikes built, with some parts available from the GL1500 GW also able to work.
As for the CB, here in the classified would be best. Was it Valkyrie Bling who had the Yamaha CBs to work with the Valk? That is one that works with the IS stock controls.
Otherwise, get a J&M.

If it's an Interstate and you're interested in the Valkyrie Bling CB, I've got one for sale. Shoot me a PM.
