I came pretty late to the Valkyrie party, but I made it. I was off riding other things, but the big Valk was always on my radar. After finally acquiring one, I soon found them to be closely associated with the fabled dragon. I also boned up on my Norse history in the process. A good thing. I did a search on "dragon" and even on titles only, there are about 8,683,602 topics with "dragon" in the subject. But, I'm curious about if, how many, what type, and where folks might have images (big or small) of dragons on their Valkyrie. I recently picked up some cheap stickers ($2 a piece) and discretely stuck them on. Not sure I'll keep them, but I thought it might be interesting to see where (or if) others have adorned their rides with DRAGONS of some sort...   |

Many of us have added dragons. Below is a crome mirror image set that I adhered to the Baker Air Wings. They were purchased off eBay and came from China. I also have the Deals Gap dragon on the rear fender.  |

My black standard with TBR pipes sounds like a big cat roaring (according to my other half) More of a dragon roar, says I. God bless her cotton socks, she went out to find something to either confirm or deny either statement. This was the best she could find, so she bought two - one for each side panel ....  |

I like those little stickers and where you put them  where did you find em? |

Nice, I've got red dragons on my side covers, I got them when we road the Dragon trail last year, also had a sticker made up of the US with colored in states that I have ridden through, almost all the western states, not been along the eastern coast, want to go to Glashier park in Montana, but money is tight this year. Maybe next year I'll get out that way. A frind is moving to Utah, maybe plan to meet up with him. I also just put deflctor fins on my front lower forks, just trying them out , made of sheet tin, if I like them, may work on cutting some from nice alum. sheet.

My girl don't ware pasties, she's got full body art with dragons on each side of the tank and one on the flairing $4, and I removed all the parts to be painted. Last seen at Inzane in Spearfish SD. She was the green/black interstate. I can't post pics her but you can see her in this years calendar girl for Feb. She's purdy and I know lots of pics were taken of her and anybody is free to put up a picture of her or I can send you one.

Does anyone or has anyone made dragon art pieces such as Cam Covers for our bikes? I've got eagle cam covers but would definitely be interested in a dragon version.

The chrome dragon head covering my trailer hitch has red eyes that light up the when the key is on. I'll have to snap a close up after dark.  |
