Lemondrop, acting as the N Texas representative of the WRCC (Walking Really Carefully Club, or was it Wrecked Rehab Convalescing Club?), was kind enough to save me having to purchase a Walkyrie of my own. Because I can't ride a two-wheeler yet, I decided to accessorize the loaner to "make it my own". Here are a few pictures of my project to date. Here it is as a Walkyrie Standard. Gotta love the classic lines of the naked cruiser.  Here is a front view of the Walkyrie Tourer, complete with a quick-release air wings / faring assembly with dual drink holders, and removable fork-mounted nylon luggage. Comfort, convenience, and style for the trip. Easy conversion takes just seconds.  Here is a side view. Please note the new pair of Dunlop rears.  Next up: Grips. Those oem grips are really hard if I don't wear my gel gloves. |

At first glance at the second pic, I thought it was a Goldwing. Armrests and plastic  |

Sweet  That's what great about Walkeries... Seeing what folks do to make them unique. One question... Any of the accessories inhibit your left turn clearance Black Dog |

Any of the accessories inhibit your left turn clearance? There seems to be plenty in stock form, but I'm still shying away from an aftermarket centerstand. |

Very good! Nicely done. Don't Walkyries come as an accessory item for a G-old Wing?  |
