   I can't help you other than get on your phone and query Honda dealers in the town / area you are in. Should direct you to the nearest one. stay off the xway and take it easy getting to a dealership. Good luck!

Depends on what you call "in the area".  MP, Melvin Pierce, is about sixty miles north of you and he knows what he's doing with a Valkyrie.

       I P Md Mel right after I called David. I found a number of M/C shops in Dickinson and so informed David. BUT if they are like most of them here where I reside they be closed on Monday!  Lips Sealed RIDE SAFE.

Stopped at the shop in Dickinson. Parts guy/manager took my bike for a ride and said he couldn't hear any major noises in the drive train and gave me the green light to head to Sturgis.

Made it down with no issues. So far so good. I can still hear some noise at low speed at times, but am hoping all goes well.

Thanks...

If it comes and goes, it may very well be your rear wheel bearing. Happened to me. It will get worse in a very short time.

Ditto on the bearings....when mine went it sounded like a twig rubbing on the side of the tire..and at first only occasionally. Good luck
