Valkyrie 97-99


Valkyrie 00-03


F6C (european badge)


Hope I'm not missing any variations, post if I am (Rune doesn't count).

You're missing the rare gold accented '00-'03 style. Very Sharp, but did not come on any cycle from the factory, so maybe it doesn't count.
When in doubt, ride.

What he said. These are the ones that adorn MY 99 I/S.  :cooldude: When and if i go thru the expense of a repaint the stock badges ARE going back on.  ;) RIDE SAFE.

I like the original badge. Like the one at the top of your post. a friend of mine put those on his interstate and in my opinion they look way cooler than the maiden head. Maybe just for the fact that it is not like every other IS.
If you're lucky enough to ride a Valkyrie, you're lucky enough.

You're absolutely right, Mike, and the ones in the picture are now in Norway.  

I had served as his proxy buyer in several unsuccessful eBay attempts at used ones on this side of the pond.  He eventually bought a set of Euro badges for his originally US bike because they were different to him.  Being the nut I am, I wanted a pair too and asked him to keep an eye out.  About the time he realized his US badges were the unusual ones to have over there, I found the New-In-Package gold emblems in my picture.  Soon after that, he emailed me pictures of his Euro badges and said, "I have something you want."  My rapid response was, "And I have something you want".  So, at GOTF in '10 we made a swap.  That Dag is a Great guy!

No, the maidenhead badges first appeared on the '99 Interstates and were on all Valkyries from 2000-2003.
