Do you think these would work on the Valk? I see them all over the place for the Goldwing models...  They look as if they would work.

What do you think?

I dont see any reason why they would not fit, so far everything I have bought that is for the wing has fit. What are you going to do turn all the side covers to chrome. On your bike that would look pretty good.

The frame covers will fit, however they don't quite cover all the way to the top of the exposed frame.  Because they are for the Goldwing, they stop where the Goldwing fairing starts, which covers more frame than our radiator pods do.  I have seen a couple Valks with chrome frame covers, and it looks nice, but not a perfect fit because they are a little short. But hey, don't let me stop you!!! If you add them and the gap bothers you, I was thinking a trip to your local auto custom shop that does vinyl wraps.  They make the wrap in chrome, and only a small piece would be needed to cover bare frame to pods. They could even do the exposed frame in chrome wrap without even using the frame covers. Check images online of chrome vinyl wrap on cars or do a YouTube search, some truly stunning results!!!

Just buy the corner piece at bottom and do the wrap the rest of the way up. :cooldude:
