I've done searches and can't find anything that discusses this issue.  Is there a relatively simple front wheel swap option for the Valkyrie?  Perhaps a Goldwing or VTX wheel that would fit?

Don't believe there is a wheel that will just swap with a Valk front end. Not one I ever heard of.

VTX 1800 front wheels will swap with our Valks front wheels.

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY!

What's your reason for wanting a different wheel? If it's looks, just get yours chrome plated, powder coated, or Hydra-dipped, for about $300 each.

Have fun. Be safe. Always set a good example.

I've had wheels powder coated for $160.00 per set.

Sorry for that, the $300 is for chrome.

It's pretty much the same wheel isn't it?  So what's the point?

Kinda thought he was wanting something different.

IMHO, the Valks wheels are nice.

I was wanting something that looked different.  I'm doing a bunch of other custom work to my Valk, so I wanted a different look up front.

I completely understand, and have been researching quality, affordable chrome plating for mine.
We all want our bike to be unique and stand out.
Please post photos when it's done!
