Quietman, Welcome to the inzanity..... And a lot of good people sharing a lot of great info.

Hmmm.... It looks to me like the tank badge reads

Valkyrie nor is it the
Maidenhead tank badge. The reason I am pointing this out is there are several differences between the two bikes and you could get really confused when working on the bike if you are not aware of those differences. Look here for the differences between F6C and Valkyrie:
