Nice bike. Your picture has already made the rounds. Saw it on Facebook a week ago or so. I really like it.

CajunRider · Mon 04, May 2015, 22:41:58

Can't hide those rubles!
Those are beautiful Valkyrie stablemates! Your 97 looks like a rolling sound system, must be some monster speakers in your passenger armrest "pods". Cool modification!

Thank you ..its not so loud but its ok. I made it spcial for my wife who always going to fall down...

specialdose · Tue 05, May 2015, 14:41:31

Well I must say that is the finest looking example of the new Valkyrie I have seen.

From Russia with love.

vrcc russia · Tue 05, May 2015, 15:46:07

Aha,with huge love!!!NEW valkyrie not so popular in Russia, everyone loves old Valkyrie...and my first look was the same but i understood how to make it better....and to show a "candy"....But now so strange to ride old one....

thork86 · Tue 05, May 2015, 19:51:33

Holy smokes! I checked out the pics yesterday and thought "oh cool customized old Valkyrie".

Didn't realize until now I'm looking at two different bikes, one old and one new model Valkyrie!!!

That's awesome, man!

dans2014 · Fri 08, May 2015, 22:35:50

The new Valkyrie does everything better!!! Great job Honda!!! Beautiful couple of bikes

mikesgotmods · Mon 11, May 2015, 10:46:41

WOW!!!!! That's some serious custom work on the new valkyrie!!!!! Please don't leave us with just those few shots in that enclosed area, let that beast loose and take some outside pictures in the sun, and more angles please!!!!!! Can we have a breakdown of what was done to your bike? Such as, what was custom chromed, what was painted, where that trunk came from, I'm thinking ST1300 Pan European. I think customization like this by more of us will generate some aftermarket interest in parts which will benefit us all. Great job, and be sure to show her off around Russia and the bike may get more popular.

Hubcapsc, Man your bike is looking better each time i see it!! I love those bags! You and others got me wanting to head to the dealers!

vrcc russia · Tue 12, May 2015, 09:31:33

Hi everyone...I try to tell you about my new valkyrie as possible as I could ...because my English not enought...
My main result- I did what I wanted...
First I painted in my smartphone how it will look like..

I bought everything that I could to buy for Valkyrie OEM ...and some Kyuriakyn for Gold Wing, I ordered Corbin sadllebags and seats..I didnt like black weels and U took them to company for polish and its looks better then blacks...

After I asked my friend about painting of my motorcycle ..I whanted my new bike was looks like to old one...They made orange color for orange lines...I glued a thin blue tape by my self....its too hard to make it straght....

Same time i found some places where I can to chrome black metals parts of my bike and where I can paint to chrome colors...

And after I had to wait...Twice they to painted because I didnt like a quality....

and finaly I got everything and doesnt care about some deffects because its allmost may...and I began to collect my motorcycle...

or I forget to tell that I altered the original seats and it was cool.. but later I got corbin seats ...its more comfortable but I will change the colors...
so....it was like this

after...

and now...

Good looking ride.

Love the color combination.

That makes it fast looking just setting still.

Your English is just as good as some of ours so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Have a nice day.

bscrive · Tue 12, May 2015, 10:20:04

Good looking ride. I need sunglasses to look at it. I am doing just the opposite, I am going all blacked out. I had a lot of chrome on my last Interstate, so this time I decided to go the other way. It will take time but it will look good.

Jess from VA · Tue 12, May 2015, 10:28:00

Tovarich, that is a beautiful bike.

But did someone steal your license plate?

vrcc russia · Tue 12, May 2015, 14:40:12

I didn't registered yet...

. I have 10 days.. so I will.... soon...

Oh my god!!!! What a work of art, and yes, you knew just what was needed to bring out the good looks from that bike. You forgot to mention where that trunk came from. Consider putting some tail lights or at least marker lights on the trunk, mabie even the bags. You may want to obtain a Goldwing centerstand, just have to order a Goldwing exhaust heat shield with the notch cut out on the side where the stand is deployed. Is the chrome finishing of plastic parts done with the Spectra Chrome process? I have seen it applied on YouTube. It's a spray on chrome that has a paint base and a clear top coat. Very quick turn around to do parts and less expensive than traditional chrome. You sir have set the bar for custom second generation Valkyrie, and the bar is set high!!! Everyone else must step up their game!!!

Absolutely beautiful, nice work

I love the added blacked out headlight cover tank cover and the speedo cover the subtle one you did not sneak past With is the blacked out levers. Great job.

yes, black is cool too.. but you need to paint engine and muffler in black color...

As well as the forks, but that will come in time. Probably this winter. Right now I want to ride it.

havoc · Thu 14, May 2015, 08:37:49

stunning work..i'm speechless

Savago · Thu 14, May 2015, 12:20:40

Great job!

Yoodlooz · Sat 06, Jun 2015, 20:13:43

Very nice! Where did you get the trunk?

Lyonardo · Sat 06, Jun 2015, 20:18:45

Wow! That's the nicest 2014 Valk I've seen yet. The chrome is exactly what's been missing from the new design.
Beautiful.

Robert · Sun 07, Jun 2015, 18:54:55

Very nice some really good work and planing.

Hey dude...that work you did on the bike is simply SPECTACULAR!!! Wow, all that chrome..stunning...

Anyway, it's good to see someone from Russia on here man...the media wants us all to believe of the giant mistrust between east and west....speaking for myself and many, many others...we're all good with Russia...were just all people man and want the same things...I cannot STAND politicians and others whom think they can speaker for every American...the overwhelming majority of us just want peace and to have fun doing things like rock and roll, drinking beer and riding motorcycles!! I'll ride with you and your buddies any day dude! BTW during the last stages of the cold war between our countries, I was in the US Atlantic Fleet...what a joke that was...I'd occasionally run into some Russian sailors while in Hamburg...it was totally cool...and to think that we could go to war..wtf??? please...as I said, politicians ALL SUCK!

Thank you! thanks for your message. Money dicides everything in the World. And it doesn't our games. mes

vrcc russia · Fri 03, Jul 2015, 17:20:39

so about motorcycle... now I'm going to rechrome AL. plastic parts. because before I metalized plastic and it's not good now so will try to galvanize. Hope you understand my English. And I got back thunk- Corbin for Rune... but it's so heavy. and quality not good. I'm afraid to broke my frame . so when i'll do something more I will show you...

valkrandy · Sun 05, Jul 2015, 13:21:08

Maybe Honda might consider offering a model with retro style concepts similar to the stunning modifications displayed here? While the new Valk is beautiful and many will love the look just as it is, I bought my 98 for the unique, muscular, yet classic look as much as anything. If Honda offered an 1800 that looked like vrcc russia's I'd be itching to buy even though my 98 runs perfectly.

jdp · Sat 11, Jul 2015, 20:35:38

Well I wasn't sure if I was going to buy the new Valkyrie, but after seeing what you can do I'm going to put some money down on one at the dealer, thanks for making up my mind Russia

vrcc russia · Wed 19, Aug 2015, 11:03:49

So, I love my old Valkyrie a lot..i so like how its look like more than new one.. but i ride a lot and i needed some new bike with opposit engine.. if Bagger was Valkyrie - it could be my bike..But I'm VRCC member from 2000, and I began VRCC movement in Russia and keep it alive... so I couldnt buy another bike...And if to be honest after riding new Valkyrie I couldnt ride my old one...Brakes, controllability(?), power..dimensions .. In Moscow we have huge traffic lines so I need for smaller and economical bike.. and I found it..And I tried to make it looks like to my old one...
And I bought trank from Corbin for Rune and wanted to fix it to my bike....but that trank soooooooo havy!!! I'm afraid to break my frame...so now I just rthinking what me to do with that...I think its about 50lb..+ 100lb saddlebags...me and my wife...toooo much......
