Just interested,

Anyone change coolant on the 1800 recently?

I did on my F6B not too long ago. With the same engine and twin radiators I assume the job is similar.

I'm curious, does the 1800 Valk have the coolant bottle underneath like the Wing and F6B? That design has sold a lot of 'belly pans'.

Yup same design, that is why I also got the shield under bike.

I was so glad I had it when the other day something came up and hit the front shield and bent it.  

The coolant tank is behind the engine and about 1 inch shy of the bottom of the bike pretty much.  

My friend had the B I liked it I did a couple of oil changes on it for him and they are all pretty much the same. Since they do have the same frame and engine. Some of the changes come from the back of the bike in the form of supports that allow for changes in the design. But the basic bikes are all the same.
Since they really dont list many parts for the Valkyrie I ordered the shield for the wing and it fit perfectly.
