Have 1998 Valkyrie that needs carb work. Called several dealers and they don't want to work on older bike or want 2500.00 to clean carbs. Anyone that knows anyone that works on them at reasonable prices i would appreciate a number to contact them. Thanks for any help. I'm located in Baton Rouge,La. willing to travel Mississippi. b-chaisson@hotmail 225-937-2676

Do a search, it's your best friend.
Carb cleaner, B-12, Techron, etc.
http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,89846.0.html
Does the bike run? Then add a heavy does of B-12 to a fresh tank of fuel. Then enjoy the ride.
