- Honda Valkyrie - Preparing for Touring
Episode 3
Today, we will be putting the finishing touches on the Valkyrie.
Remember, this is not an educational video, just a little fun in the warm weather.
Have a good summer and enjoy some well deserved sunshine !
That's a beautiful bike you have there. I own a 2000 Valkyrie red and black. I absolutely love it. Safe riding brother
Thank you ! Am working on a new video now, have got even some more stuff to mount. Stay tuned :-) And show us your Valkyrie too !
I had a Valk Interstate, always ready for touring. Best bike I ever owned.
I actually would like to have an Interstate in the same style as the one we already have. Maybe when we move soon, I will have room for it in a new garage. ChromeKing should not have to stay outside anymore :-) Thank you very much for watching. We will soon be out with more video's about ChromeKing !
Our interstate was two tone silver and blue. We toured in France with a Garmin the size of a house brick and loved it, never missed a beat. We joined the Valerie Owners Cruisers Club (free)! And had a blast with great people, happy days.
I want to buy a Valkyrie.
Based on your experience, what can be the pros and cons of this bike, which is what can fail you the most, I have read that the fuel tank valve tends to fail.
I really want a Valkyrie
We have used this bike for 3 years now, it was made in 2000. So far, the alternator is the only thing that has broken. But it was a 20 year old part. Apart from this, nothing. These bikes are well known for reliability. If you want to check for other people's experience, join the Valkyrie group on Facebook. They have a very high level of knowledge. Thank you for watching.
whats stopping you?

Hello. What information do you need ? Thank you for watching !
Have been riding many many years had all kinds of motorcycles now presently own old 15 new Honda Valkyrie wish I had had it years ago plenty power no maintenance easy 200,000 mile bike
I really hope that will be the mileage we will get from this one ! Thank you very much for watching !

Hi. It is found here:

Thank you for watching. We will make some more of these Valkyrie Videos after we move house...

Hi there. If you check the various comments you will find all the places I have listed the shops for the parts before. More videos will be coming later ass we are looking for a house with more room for the bike hobby !
What is the name of this german accessory company? Did they sell you the gauge cluster? Nice video. Hope to see more of these kind of videos. Cheers
Hello there. The parts came from this address in Germany.

Notice though, they have extremely high prices. And make sure you document very well when package is received. Thank you for watching, more video's will follow.
that in front bag will hit the front thunder when you ride throw bumpers ,
Yes. i have added protection on top of the fender. No scratches. Thank you for watching !
The Valk is a huge and fun bike to ride. Smooth and comfortable. But, with a range of about 125 miles its got some pretty short legs on it.
Well, there is the possibility of mounting the belly tank. It is still available to buy ! Thank you for watching and be safe !
@@CityWalkerProductions Sure! Enjoy the Valk!
@@CityWalkerProductions who sells a belly tank for the Valkyrie? R&M works stopped producing them over a decade ago, and they’re unobtanium on ebay or the forums. Do you know of another maker? Id buy one in a heartbeat if they were available!
@@andrewh6337 Only one I know of is here,,

Thank you for watching !
My ‘97 Valk goes on reserve at 130 miles and sometimes 160 miles. Then another 30 miles. Crappy gas mileage, but more than 125 miles.

youve probaly awready know this but that tool bag you mounted on the front is too low , when the shocks compres during riding it will rub on the front fender and ruin the panint , on mine i made a support bracket out of some brass rod , but i am sure yu can find some comercialy available ones as well .More importantly that ol filter cover looks cool but there is a reason as to why oil filters are mounted on the front of the engine and are exposed like that , the reason is oil cooling . The cooling of the engine should be sufficient to overcome this mod but its no needed and on hot days it can make the difference between a hot day riding and an overheated engine ,safe riding
Hi there. What you might notice in one of the later video's, we covered the front fender with soft protective material right under the tool rool. In addition, we do not really carry the metal tools inside the roll. They are in one of the side bags :.) We shall also mount a bracket behind the roll as to keep it up.
The oil filter on the other hand fits so snugly inside the cover that it in effect becomes a heat sink for the oil filter. I had the same concern when I tested out the cover, but found it to be the same temperature as the oil filte's aluminium casing. Measured with a laser temp meter after test driving a hot summer day ! I think we measured ca 80 C that day.
Thank you very much for watching and have a great summer, it should soon appear :-)
Hi CityWalker! I have a question, where did you get those extra lights with indicators on both sides of that full-size windshield? I've been looking for them for some time with no success. Great work on your Valkyrie :)
Hello there. They were manufactured by a US company called Cobra. They are discontinued a long time ago. You can get a used pair or a reproduced pair from Germany.
Used:
www.valkparts.de/epages/81325627.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/81325627/Products/GE010
Reproduced:
www.valkparts.de/epages/81325627.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/81325627/Products/HN545
They are extremely expensive when buying from Germany though.
In our Illumination video, you will see us change them into LED for improved light output.
Anyway, thank you for watching and sucscribe for the next video's :-) Ride Safe.
@@CityWalkerProductions Much obliged. Many safe travels!
would you recommend this motorcycle
There is no better motorcycle for the serious cruiser rider, It is recommended. !
One of the best Motorcycles ever built.
I was wondering if someone 5 feet 6 inches could sit on the motorcycle with their feet flat or is 5 Ft 6 inch person would be to short?
I think that would be possible. Remember, you can get adjustable feet rest. There are not many bikes that can get as much extra equipment as there Valkyrie's. Just search for Valkparts.de as an example. Thank you for watching.
I’m 5’7”.... it doesn’t matter if you keep moving!
I'm 5"6 and I fit fine
Tenker å kjøpe meg Valkyrie som første motorsykkel
Går bra det. Dette er den første motorsykkelen jeg har eid. Bare å være obs og ta det helt med ro så går alt fint. Sykkelen er så stor at alle ser deg... Takk for at du tok en titt på våre videoer !
