Thank You for allowing me to join. I have always liked Hondas since my little 50cc Honda trail in the 70's. My brother inlaw has had a Valkrie for many year. I love the look of it. After a bad accident a few years ago I feel more comfportable on three wheels. I bought a 1997 Valkrie trike this week. It need more work then I thought. Started trying to track down parts that is when I had come across your group. The parts were more difficult and pricy then I hoped so today I bought a 1998 Valkrie for parts. I need a front forks and a seat so it made the parks bike worth while. Hopefully I don't have too many issues making the trike road ready. It has a electrical issue with the starter. Cross your fingers for me. I feel bad the 1998 bike I bought for parts is in nicer condition then the one I'm repairing cosmetically but it has a bad motor.
Thank You again for accepting me. I live 20 minutes south of Daytona beach, Florida if anyone lives near by.
John

Welcome to the insanity that are us!  IF the engine issue in the 98 is just hydro lock it is repairable. Some one already mentioned the starter button. Ad when you duz git in da wind you WILL find out how addictive they are!  RIDE SAFE. |

Welcome from another Triker due to injury. They're much more fun than you would think.
Again, welcome from Arkansas.
