As we all know, the Valk is a wondrous machine  Wink  One of my favorite things about my bike, is the way she can change her look/attitude...

From a 500 mile/day, cross country Sport Barge (name borrowed from my buddy Brutus)...



To a back road cruiser...



To Bad Azz Gunslingin' HD hunter, for when there is 'another' special anniversary that brings the V-Twin fine Americans to SE Wisconsin by the thousands...



The changes are made in a matter of minutes, and almost makes me feel like I own three different bikes!

Man, I love this machine  cooldude

Blackdog,
Now all you have to do is figure a way to get some color on it so it can keep up with the other Valks.

Where did you get the signals or whatever is added to them? That's the look I'm wanting. Thanks, Dave

Very nice looking Valkyrie, don't listen to them, black is the fastest and the best looking bike. Color is for flowers and clothes. OK maybe i am a little close to Black.

Thanks guys...  Jim, I'll deal with you later  coolsmiley

Misunderstood;  Don't know if you mean the front or rear signals?  If front, I replaced the '97 OEM signals with '01 (single screw) signals (mounted beneath a set of RIVCO Spots).  Then went with the Kuryakyn Chrome rings/Smoked Lens (yellow bulbs), they sell for the Valk/VTX.  If rear, I got rid of the OEM Licence Plate/Signal mess, and replaced the reflectors on the bags with Wedge Lights from J&P Cycle, for the turns.  The bulbs that came with those lights were 7 watt wedge type bulbs, and couldn't be seen.  I used a Dremel tool, ground out enough space to mount 35 watt Halogen bulbs, and they do get seen  cooldude  The plate is in a Kury frame, with a white LED strip from Radianz.

Thanks again fro the 'Props' guys...  Grin
