Always thought this was the best custom Valkyrie ever.

more than likely in a junkyard.  :(
you never see any of those customs like you did in the early 00's. I can only assume they were wrecked and are now in a junkyard rusting to pieces.

Do not know, nice looking bike.
Just 2 issues, yellow and I hope there are baffles in those pipes.

            Might turn out to be a "barn find" in 25-30 years!  :coolsmiley: RIDE SAFE.
Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check.  1964  1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.

quite the bar hopper!!....10-20 years ago Strokers -Rick Fairless's place here in Dallas-- was packed with customs but not one like that...the traffic now makes it way too risky to go and the crowds are dwindling--it was pretty hard core Harley type's....up North of Dallas bikes still are fairly plentiful-- a good blend of cruiser/sport  bikes and some decent roads and cage drivers--just a very fast ride up George Bush Freeway to keep from getting run over..

Did a little research to confirm that this bike is the Cobra bike "Sixshooter" built by Denny Berg, their in house custom guy. Also discovered that it was built from a wrecked bike.

It's an optical illusion but it looks too long.

Drag bars make it seem that way.

I had the same impression but I believe the frame is intact.  The front has been raked.  The custom tank is longer than OEM pushing the saddle back.

While I seriously doubt I would ride it with that exhaust, it is an impressive build.    

Just can't handle loud exhaust.   I don't want to lose what hearing I have left.   :coolsmiley:

Got an email from Cobra today. Won't find the bike in a barn or a wrecking yard. Cobra still has it in their collection along with a bunch of other customs. They just completed two 750 v twins in  305 scrambler version and another one in a flat track style, both designed and built by Berg.
