It looks like several have a taller narrower tire on the front. Is that possible with out doing a lot of changing. The old GW 1500 had a narrower tire up front, were the forks the same as the Valk?

Thanks for posting, been some serious time, money and effort invested.
The last bike must be owned by a machinist or metal worker or millionaire.

Still trying to decide which one I like the most.

I like this one the most, it looks like the builder sweated the details on the suspension...

That is the one that sent me looking for more.

Not only the comfort (ride to Taos?), but where do you put your toothbrush?

I think that is what you call a half-hour seat (or upholstered notch).

I saw a video on FB of the build. Looked very carefully thought out.

4th picture or 4th bike?  I like the fourth picture.  The fourth bike not so much.

That looks like a good to have large chunks of your flesh burned away from the exhaust!

  If I remember correctly , the last bike was built in Japan. There was an article on it a few years (?) back. If I had my machine shop back again , my wife would not know me.

If talking about the one with the number 6 on the gas tank,  I agree, is the best of the bunch, looks very cool and well done

A few more pics from the one with the 6 on the tank

I am not sure about the HD Performance on the back guard but I do like the extended tank (owner did that, saw it for sale)

A couple of others thrown in

4th picture and 4th bike.....dead sexy and with the #6 on it. Better pics were posted of it, that is totally what I would love my Valk to be!!!! Love especially how all that chrome is gone.  :evil:

That is nice :cooldude:  Just like a cafe should be.  Nothing not needed is on the bike , foot pegs moved, nice detail work.

I like the Six Pack bike and the blacked out Bobber, but w/o turn signals and mirrors, you won't get far w/o getting stopped.

LOL!  My question was because the second and third picture are the same bike.  I too am greatly impressed with the one in the fourth picture.   :cooldude:
