Center Stand

[bscrive]

Does anyone know if the center stand from a regular 1800 Goldwing will fit the new valk?

                     dont know for sure but,,,,, dought it since different frame,    Have used a chuck stand, and jacks to raise up for tire change etc.

I remember reading a post from someone who did install one.  They said it physically fits with very minor work but it doesn't really raise the bike.  Which makes sense because the Valkyries have about an inch more ground clearance than a Goldwing

If it is a different frame why the hell didn't they move the radiator? Rune has 1800 with radiator in front. So ya can't tell me it is for cost savings.

It's a different rear sub frame.

And different triple trees and forks to correct the rake and trail for the bigger wheels.

I left that out because it isn't directly part of the actual "frame".
