Will it fit a valk? They have the same forks. I can get an oem with brackets still new in box for CHEAP.

Same fork diameter but maybe not the same width. Valk OEM shields bolt to the Triple T's. Better take some measurements before investing $$$.

Lots of aftermarket web sellers have a function on their websites where you can punch in your bike and a part and see if they are compatible or fit/work.

On rare occasion we may be able to MAKE something work that isn't supposed to (like progressive suspension 444s, which bolt right up, but they don't want to sell them to you anyway), but in general, it's a good tool. 

If it was me, I'd call Clearview and ask, since they sell replacements for both bikes (shields, not hardware, but they will know).

A good deal is a good deal, but not if it takes time, money and aggravation to jury rig something to fit that doesn't.

Hi I buy sel Valkyries, and VTX1800s, Yes some will some won't

You need to make sure the cut out for the head light is the big one, most 1800s have the big tapered head light. but sum will fit. I have a 1800 on my 98 Val now. I found no issues with forks though, If you just get a great deal you can cut the Headlite Hole bigger or have it done.

Hopes this helps

Way more important than the windshield itself is the hardware... are you saying
the hardware fits OK on a Valkyrie?... that would be awesome!

Which version VTX? C and R -may- fit; N probably won't due to the upper fork covers.

Our Valks with the tach & speedo have a wide spread so to speak. I had to add spacers to my Slipstreamer to get the proper angle thus beware when a manufacture says it fits, but not exactly my fit so to speak.
