I just picked up a very nice valk from ky,Dave. More chrome goodies than I have ever seen before, the bike is honestly way too nice for me. Unfortunately he sold the matching trailer before I got to it so I picked up a starlight 19 off Craigslist today. Trailer and bike both had 5 pin round connectors but the barrels in the trailer connector were too small to fit  the pins in the bike connector and both were wired different. I'll have to pick up a matching set in the morning when I wake up and figure out some wiring.

The starlight trailer pulls nice up to 85 when empty. It has torsion suspension and a swivel coupler that the po said were upgrades from the factory.  Does anybody else have one? So far it seems to be a quality built piece but I've only owned it for 5 hours.

my other bike was deemed by all my friends as the truck bike since every one of them ride sport bikes and I was the only one with bags. every time we went for a ride they would throw bottles of water, sunglasses, sweatshirt, etc. in my bags and strapped to my luggage rack.


when the cb750c got hit I think they were more concerned about who was going to carry all their crap on trips than they were about me.



now with the new trailer on the new valk I might have enough room for some of my things too  coolsmiley
