 I think the VTX has a different curve onn the fender.
With that said the rack will not fit.
  Also the bolts would be in different places.

Motorose ,  I have asked the same question, I would like to put a solo fender rack on my newer valkyrie. There are a lot of nice looking billet fender racks for the VTX and Vstars . If one of the differences is the radius of the rear fenders that could make it a difficult modification . I could work around the mounting holes. I think the only racks I have found for the Valkyrie were tube type sold by showchrome. Its hard to justify making new items for a bike no longer produced.  No matter how we feel about them. I wish I new for sure on the fender radius difference.
2000 I/S ,03 Standard  ,Yes, I like mine BLACK !

I don't think you will find that one available anymore, unfortunately.  I have been on a search for one to match my Big Bike Parts (aka Show Chrome) saddlebag racks.  I did find it listed at Extreme Revolution (now www.FastCycleParts.com), however I called and they didn't have it but checked with Show Chrome/BBP and it is discontinued and unavailable.

Wouldn't it be great if we could send a Petition Letter/Request for them to make another batch.....   I bet they could sell a hundred.
