I know many are interested in the flea-bay knock-off saddlebag rails...Here's some pictures of Bernie's ....Not bad IMO....They are alittle off but over-all look pretty good.I bought one set used of Hondaline for my BADMOJO bike and paid twice what Bernie has in these....Chrome looked good...The welds was'nt as nice as Hondaline but for half the price who cares.First picture show's they still favor the right side of the bike just alittle.Bernie just installed these and has'nt done any adjusting to them so he may be able to correct with little effort.







I've seen alot of people that thought they were cool , but then again Lord I've seen alot of fools.

Looks good, but he's gonna have to move his Tourer logo now to fit where it shows between the rails.  :cooldude:

I just knew that someone would notice the Tourer badge needed moving!  Joe, Thanks for taking the pics and posting them!  I hope we can get Big Al back on the forum.  I really enjoy his posts.

I bought a set also, but mine dont go to the right like the ones in the picture, they are pretty much centered. I guess they all dont fit the same.

I dug up a few photos of the "non-oem" saddlebag rails I bought off ebay.  It is hard for me to tell from the photos if the problem I had still exists, however considering that they are now going for half what I paid ($426.00) that would make them much more desirable now.

Here are the photos of the ones I used to have:

Only noticed because I have a new set of emblems sitting in a box for when I, if I ever do get the rails and want to place it right. It's the "Monk" in me.  :cooldude:

It's a Corbin special made with green piping in the seams to match the bike.

Alot of folks don't like the Corbin claimin' its too hard....I prefer it over the Ultimate plus if it rains on it you just wipe it off and ride on the Ultimate on the other hand well wet your ass for days after it gets wet. I now have a Corbin for all my Valkyries.

I sat on Joe's Corbin seat yesterday and was extremely impressed at how comfortable it is!  I would also buy his Green and pearl Interstate in a heartbeat if I could afford it!  A beautiful bike and Joe is definately a Chromosexual when it comes to his bikes!

Joe I would buy it, I know its a great bike and well worth what you want, but I just bought a 2000 bmw 1150gs, going to do a little on off road, I still have the Valk, and my 2009 KTM 300xc, just cant get away from the dirt bike riding,, who knows I just might end up in alaska some time. When are you going to do another ride? I cant do one now but after the first of the year some time would be nice, say march. Keep in touch, Walt.....

Same here joe
More than likely ride in on friday June 10...Do the ride through the mountains on Saturday the 11th ( Outstanding roads some of the best in fact ) ....Head home Sunday the 12th....Don ( Highbinder ) and I still need to ride up sometime soon and scout out the motel....When it's a done deal we'll have the dates with motel information and will post them on here....Last two years Don and I have put a ride on in June...The Blue / Gray Ride to Gettysburg,PA in 2009 and this year The Whiskey Run in Bardstown,KY...Both these ride's had a huge showing of Valkyrie's along with a few other makes and models.
