Have a lovely standard Valkyrie but there is no rear rack.    Hard to come by in England
( although have found S/H one for £100  :o ).  Just wondering if another model of rear rack
bolts straight to the OE sissy bar ?

Also, when I start her up, very minor spitting / popping on the left side ( previous owners
dealer has had this side off to remove rear wheel etc )...could this just be needing new
exhaust gaskets as soon as she warms up, all noises are gone and she runs real fine at all times.
Piggies still in and bike only covered 3,250 miles ( valve clearances checked at 2,500 miles )

Thanks   :)
I will never learn, on my 4th Valkyrie now !

Custom World International of Quebec, Canada made one to fit. It seems they are out of business, but you might find one used.  Hondaline racks are more plentiful, though.

Here is one on ebay with no bids starting at $30.00 (plus shipping). If you know someone in the states, you might get him or her to keep an eye out. Cannot believe shipping to Europe is that much (I shipped a Rivco centerstand once; was substantially larger and weighed more, but I though shipping was reasonable).
