I am looking to purchase a front fender rail for the Valk. Is anyone familiar with the similarities of the VTX 1800 fork and fender enough to suggest that a VTX rail will bolt up?  The VTX rail is lot less expensive than a Valk rail.

(or shoot me an email if you have a Valk version for sale)
I'm either driving a Valkyrie or an Airbus... it just depends on the day of the week.

The fenders are different. The rails also will most probably be different.
I still have a full deck.
I just shuffle slower ...

Do a search on the tech board. Several members have put a VTX front fender on their Valk.

I have a VTX C/F front fender on one of my Valks. The lower axle mount casting is different, otherwise the forks will interchange.
The rear of each fender side mounts will need to be redrilled and retapped.

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY!

What fender model? The VT X had  five models over the years; S, R, F, C, N.  ???
My rides:
1998 GL1500C, 2000 GL 1500CF,2006 GL 1800 3A

However ... the question is about the fender rail .... IMHO ... not the same thing/question.
