Found this over in the ADV forum, in the Valkyrie section...for some reason the bike looks to be styled a little different, but I'm not sure, maybe someone that owns one can tell...  |

Looks the same as U.S. model... except he's added an after-market trunk.

I think it's just the lighting... from what I understand, 2014 Valks in Europe are available only in dark red or black. |

Ah..... well I'm not jealous anymore. All that's different is the color? Weird that they didn't option that color in the US but somewhere else. Why is that?

The color is the same dark red that is available in the U.S. I believe blue is not available in Europe. |

I'm being serious Connie.
Has anyone got a front and side photo of the 1800 with the plastic radiator shrouds removed?

Why would anyone want to remove the radiator shrouds? It would look really stupid then. Have a square radiator that has no lines to follow the design of the bike.  |

Let me rephrase that.
With the colored shroud at the front of the radiator removed. Is that separate from anything else that may cover the radiator ?

I took mine off when I installed the LED lighting.
It looks like you'd like. A bunch of wires, hoses, etc behind the colored cover. The black "mesh grill" looking part over the radiator is mounted to the radiator and stays on when you remove the colored cover.

And that cover ties into all the plastic front piece too. Like many a sport bike if you've ever taken the fairing off one of those. They all kind of overlap and interlock.
