Nothing comes easy for me :(

On the website their are 10 GL1500 options to chose from depending on the Valk you have. I have a 2000 Valk Standard model so which of the 10 is right for mine. The reason I ask is I would have thought GL1500CA or Gl1500AA but apparently it matters because the wheel damper part number for each is different.

Wheel dampers changed and the ones for the IS are more durable I think (if I remember  correctly)
They should all be the same size.

GL1500C is the Valkyrie Standard.

I believe the Dampers you want are 06410-MBH-000.

Yes Sir you are right I just cross referenced the number to another site. So the correct one for the Valk Standard on Ron Ayer site is designated GL1500C A.

There (originally) used to be only 2-peice dampers for std/tourers where the rubbers and metal inserts were both required, and you poked the inserts in yourself.

The interstate dampers later came as a one-piece design, with the inserts already inserted onto the rubbers, and they were cheaper, and better designed.  But both versions would work in any model or model year Valk.  I thought Honda carried both for a while, but later discontinued the 2-piece (because making both was stupid in the supply chain, and anyone who knew the difference would always get the cheaper and better one-piece versions).

This is why when I earlier posted the link to the damper part numbers, I used the '99 interstate, because those are the ones you want.  I used the ProCaliber website parts fishe, but you may find them cheaper.

I will post a part as the correct one to an inquiry on here, but I'm not going to do the shopping around for best price.

Thanks Jess, I was going through part #'s and trying to remember where this was mentioned, the full explanation is what I needed.   :cooldude:

Not only will the dampener fit in any GL1500 Valkyrie, they will also fit in any 90'-00' Goldwing GL1500 too (5 spoke hub).

I don't recall who makes them now, but I bought one of the last batch from a seller in WA who used to make a better replacement one, Gary's dampeners, pasted back in what, 2013?
