Hello All, I'm rebuilding my 99 Valkyrie Tourer.
#1 part of my rebuild is the engine.
I know with cars there are engine kits with a better cam, heads and intake manifold.
Are there Valkyrie engine kits for better performance OR could I replace the Valkyrie engine with a Goldwing 1800cc engine?
#2 part is I want to get a fat tire on the rear. what has worked out there? any kits to recommend?
Ill be looking for custom polished wheels also.
I own two black 99 Valkyries and want to customize one.
I'm open to any suggestions on my rebuild.
Many Thanks - SoCalYaqui

search is your friend, don't be afraid  all of your questions have been answered many, many, many times. there are no cams that are any good. 49 state cams make a few more HP than the calf. cams best performance and way cool install the supercharger kit 200 series or a car tire, unless u track down one of the foreign kits $$$$$$ for a larger tire |

Why are you rebuilding the engine. These bikes go 250,000 miles with few problems.
As to the port/polish question: Don't bother. Most that do it say they wasted their time.

If you are serious about performance, get a blower. Otherwise, leave the engine alone and $pend your cu$tomizing effort$ on accessories, suspension, seats, exhaust, additional lighting, fairings, cosmetics, etc. that will "make it yours".
