I just added a new Tourer to the stable.  And since I never got around to publishing a picture of my first Valkyrie, I thought I should go ahead and try now.  It's a 1998, with incredibly low miles.  Paint, etc. is near showroom condition.  I have ridden it about 400 miles and have yet to find a problem.  Almost seems too good to be true.  Anyway, 1st picture is the new Tourer, 2nd is with the Standard, 3rd adds my Aero 750.







The 750 is for sale in case your looking.  With the wife's Spyder and my son's Yamaha BR-549(?), I need to make some room in the garage.

Your standard looks so much like mine , that I had to run out to the garage to make sure mine was there. Grips, windshield, tank bib, windshield pouch, bags, cobras,  very nice too. Grin

Yup, that's the one.  First I had to convince the wife that I needed a new one.  Then I had to convince her to drive me the 80 miles to check it out.  CL is such a carp-shoot, you never really know until you get there.  Thankfully, she was impressed also.

Oil - yes. No particles, odd colors, or smells.
Gas - a couple of times
Coolant - checked, measured, tested, seems ok but will probably change this weekend
Clutch fluid - definitely will change this weekend.  No apparent problems. Just a little discolored.
Brake fluid - again no apparent problems, but will also change.
