I'm looking into the rotor and caliper covers from a Goldwing to fit my interstate. both L and R Caliper covers for a Valkyrie are almost impossible to find. So maybe I can purchase the combination cover for the Goldwing's instead. Thanks and ride safe

What kind of caliper covers are you looking for - the small KuryAkyn and clones type which fit over the piston bodies and are retained by adhesive, or the larger (MC Enterprises/Show Chrome/Rivco) versions which cover the entire calipers and are held on by the caliper attachment bolts?

I would think the latter John but my question is,what does a rotor cover have to do with the forks?

It bolts onto them... I think he's looking for something that will work, since
Valkyrie ones are hard to find...

See this one?



And this one?



I have a set on my '01 I/S.

Show Chrome also offered a ribbed version. The left side P/N is 1-237; I cannot remember what the right side P/N is but can check my parts stash - think I have a couple sets of these new in boxes.

John the caliper covers you are displaying are what I'm looking for. If you want to part ( sell ) a pair pm me a price. Back to the original question, I thought if the Goldwing rotor and caliper cover (all in one) could work I would look into purchasing the set

Sure will - let me verify I have both left and right sides in my stash. I have the "ribbed" (1-237 style) covers and the smooth ones. Ribbed right side are no longer available but you can get the left side, and you can get BOTH of the smooth style I posted. Many vendors still carry them.

Here's the issue:

Look at the attachment points in KuryAkyn's instructions. The pinch bolt bracket appears to be the only common point between the GL1500C and GL1800 front ends. Our Valkyrie's front fender mounts are markedly different than those employed on the 'Wing. One might make a set of brackets to connect everything together but "out of the box" won't work.
