Hey Folks-Just bought a 1999 Honda Valkyrie, Orange and Black with 10K miles on it. Beetle bags to match the paint, cobra 6 into 6 exhaust, corbin stinger saddle, and a few extra gauges on it. I paid 5K for it and have only seen it in pictures...living in Alaska, the Valk will be my East coast bike taking over duties from the Kawasaki Concours which, though I loved riding it found the "sport" position to be a bit too much "sport" for my 58 yo body...love the way it handles but it really cramps me in the hips and thighs.
I considered trying to fit highway pegs to it but didn't find that process to be readily accomplished and I only (at this time anyway) use my East coast bike about 3 weeks a year. Looking forward to riding the Valkyrie in May and will gladly take any advice from other owners. While all the research I did indicates it certainly wont post the numbers my Roadster does it looks to be plenty of fun! Doug
