in Laurens, SC if you need any work done.

I stopped in the Honda place in Laurens today and a guy that worked there told me he was very familar with Valkyries.  I was talking about how easy adjusting the valves on it compared to my VTX 1800 and that rear cylinder was a beech to get to.

He said on the Valk the cam had to be pulled and they had to be shimed!!  :o :o :2funny:

No because he mentioned that is was a novelty, they quit making them and I should hang on to it and they still make Ventures! :o :o  :roll:

Sounds like the mechanic needs his head shimmed.

Well let me clarify, it was a parts guy that said he owned one and knew all about one!! :2funny:

They do have some good prices tho. We were out riding and we stopped there just to look around. A  buddy of mine with a VTX 1800 bought a brand new Hondaline deluxe luggage rack for $60 in the clearance section!! $190.00 at DL!!  He also bought a weird but cool looking  speaker and amp. It was rectangular that fit on your bars that kinda looked like an electric heater! ;D  He said they cost $350- $400 for $100!

Like the Valk the VTX is a gonner too. I could not find ONE thing for a Valk....guess they had their clearance sale years ago!

Yea it was Hondaline, Wizard has one.  They are pretty loud to be so small.

Motorcycle parts guys are among the most useless creatures on earth.
Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.
