Hi all. Just was wondering if any one has tried this on there Valk. The system is for a GW1500 that allows you extra help holding the bike up at stops.  LegUp LandinGear - Generation II

I thought about it, but never went through with it.  I was having trouble holding the bike up with my wife on the back.  She's not exactly the little girl I married 40 years ago.  Ended up buying a Spyder and kept the Valkyrie.

Pete G. owns Chopper Design and is also a friend, have used his services a few times in the past. He showed me his original design a few years back, was excited over its possibilities but wasn't totally satisfied. I was in there a couple months back and I never got to attend to my business until he showed me his latest version, along with a demo. Really unique setup for anyone needing it, made totally in house. I know the demand is slowly building because it's keeping him and his staff busy. Good to see American ingenuity at work. :cooldude:

$3500?  :o  :o

Ive never been flat footed with the Valk. Sometimes I have trouble and shes been dropped. Backing up hill, no way. She will have to push me. Going to the 12" shock has helped alot!

Looks like a good idea, to bad it's not for the Valk unless you modify it some what, mounts at the passenger foot peg. Don't know the difference between a GW1500 and our Valk 1500.

I emailed them a couple of months ago, and they had no plans to make one to fit the Valkyrie. It bolts through the passenger pegs, and they are very different on the 'Wing.
