Team,
Way back when I totaled a Valkyrie on the Blue Ridge Parkway and I wanted a new Rocket...so bad that I printed an 8x8 (8x11 sheets) wall poster of a Rocket 3...but unfortunately, the insurance check was only big enough to get another used Valkyrie. Which actually brings me to why I joined your great group. I am going to tray and fit a 240/50-16 tire to the back of the Valk...I know there is a pretty high chance that I will not be able to succeed without a lot of money. So I am hoping to find someone with an old or worn out rear tire that I can get for hopefully not much more than shipping cost. Condition is irrelevant...but if it holds air that would be a big plus...I am in Mesa AZ. Thank you for your time and hope I can get a cheap tire for mock-up purposes.
Here is what it looks like now with 205/50-16 Toyp Proxes R1R
 
Welcome and Nice Bike. I am sure someone will be along shortly some on here have piles of them.
 
Hello Rdkll and welcome from Virginia. Keep your heart set on the Rocket though, it will happen. That's a nice looking bobber you got there...
 
Here is a short video of the cut exhaust. Stock headers and 4" Flowmaster turndowns
