My Plasti-Dip wheels. Several miles and a few months on them. No nicks or peeling yet and they wipe clean.

Nice looking rides both of them! Off topic but what brand of pipes do you have on that Bobber?? I'm looking for pipes for my black y2k I/S and thinking those'd look really nice!  cooldude

Six-Cylinder Hooligan,

I cut up a set of rusty OEM pipes, had and aircraft fabrication company make two SS cones (4'' to 1 1/2")made and two 1 3/8" eight inch SS tubes. Welded the cones to the tubes, then and welded the cones as a collector. I found two old 4" truck stacks and drilled them to mount to the passenger peg mounts.

Had everything sandblasted, then painted the system with Rustoleum BBQ paint and added Grumpys tips.
Cheap, but quite effective.

These wheels were from HDL way back when the shop was in Ohio, I think it was.   I got them from LaMont in like 1999.

Joevalk those valve covers on the beast look good. Are they off of a Goldwing?

jdp,

It is my understanding that what is needed is the 'hubs'...  When I got my smoothies, the picture that RC Components had on line, was that of a V-Twin, showing the wheels.  The wheel size (19" or say 22") can be used from bike to bike, but it is the hubs, or what hold the axel, brake rotors, drive hub or belt wheel, to the wheels that is specific for each bike.

RC Components no longer offers Valkyrie specific wheels, and that has been the case for lots of after market companies, as our ladies are getting rather long in the tooth...

Good luck in yer search.
