The site that they photos came from is a japan site, they call it the F6C, I believe if you (or I) were to order from our local dealer they would say "Valkyrie".

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

F6C stands for Flat 6 Custom. I bought the early F6C badges for my standard.

No. I did not pay asking price.

Great point!  I wish someone in this country would post some pics of accessories.

Yep, I'm well aware of the F6C meaning... I prefer the Valkyrie badges.

=============================================

If our USA-market-Valkyries came with "F6C" Tank Badges, you can be sure that I would desperately be lookin' for "VALKYRIE" badges!  
I just can't leave good enough alone.   If she came OME Darkside, I'd be lookin' to install a motorcycle tire and so on...
... just the way I dis-function.

BTW, when I offered the "definition" of "F6C,"  I was thinking about those who might not be familiar with its meaning. 
I for one did not know what it meant until I bought these F6C badges last month. ???

Good to know. Thanks.

And I thought the C stood for Cruizer not Custom.

Connie, you will be very happy to see that Honda has finally listed all the accessories on their site and your wish is granted.

Saddlebags are 9 inches deep side to side.

What the heck use is that? Silly. Another strike against the bike.

Not well thought out like so many other things about it.

I am confident the aftermarket will be churning things out for this bike in no time. Look at all the classic Valkyries and consider their accessories. How many of them are Hondaline? Some to be sure but the majority of the 'must have" parts came from the likes of Kuryakyn, Cobra, Corbin, Aeromach, etc.  6 months from now there will be lots of other options to choose from. All those things can be easily added on to a bike.

Power, handeling, reliability, the new Valkyrie has the basic elements needed to be a great bike. All the other stuff is easily added to suit the individual riders tastes.
