I have looked around a few times to see which, if any, factory wheels will bolt onto a Valkyrie. I would like to know so I can seek some out. I'm not interested in spending a bunch of money for aftermarket wheels. I just want to put on something besides factory.

Something to consider....a member here (sorry, can't 'member who) can
chrome your factory rims for a very reasonable price. Soon as I get the
extra $$$ that's what I'm gonna do!!! :cooldude:

Mine is a 2003 and I'm pretty sure the wheels are chromed from the factory, but I may be wrong as I just bought the bike and can't remember everything about it yet. Ideally I would be able to find a spoker for the front and a solid for the rear.

SANDMAN5

No, I had an 03 (totalled it :'() but the rims weren't "chrome", just
polished. Kinda shiny but still not chrome. 'Hard6' I think is the one
that does the chromage. Maybe somebody can post a link to his
website.

To answer your question:  To my knowledge, there is no other wheel from a different motorcycle that will interchange with a Valkyrie.  To my knowledge, there isn't anyone making aftermarket wheels for the Valkyrie.  I've seen mention of at least one company who's website mentioned wheels to fit a Valkyrie but I've not heard of anyone actually getting a set.

RC Components once made wheels for the Valkyrie.  I believe JeffK has a set, or at least I know he has aftermarket wheels he bought quite a few years ago.

I have a set of chrome wheels, after market, but I don't remember who I got them from.

I think it was a suggestion from Lamont.  I know I found out about them in Florida at Bike Week.

I also think they are the same wheels that JeffK has on his IState.

Way back when...  RC Components sold wheels for the Valk.  As with so many other vendors, they no longer make the 'hubs' to fit our bikes   :-\

These are RC Components 'Smoothies'...

I'd like one of those for the rear of mine. It sucks that I can't find many things for my bike. What are those floor boards you have?

PAVALKER

Gee... I'd like a set of smoothies for my Valk.....       Those floorboards are Lamonster branded I think....

Nope...  Lamont don't get credit for these  ;D  They are one of a kind, and of my own design... I call 'em 'Dragon Wings'.
