Because you asked 😊 Corbin
seats , steel braided brake lines , timing belt for piece of mind , find a set of stock exhaust pipes , then your long-distance rides will be much more enjoyable , safe travels.
@@edwardreyes3540 Thank you I appreciate your suggestions , And thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍
The thing on your throttle is called a throttle wing. It's so your can rest your wrist on it to hold your throttle. My brother added them on his Goldwing. Nice bike for the age 👍
Thank you, I had no idea what that was . Not a bad bike at all for being 25 years old only 31,500 miles . As always thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍👍
I have the same setup on mine, it really helps when it is cold and you need to losen your grip and get some blood back into your fingers. Much safer than cruise control.
@nunninkav Thank you , Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍
I just found this video... really strange, I am purchasing a Valkyrie to save miles on my Road King. I ride a lot and wanted to preserve the Harley. Plus, I like the looks and power-delivery of the Valkyrie. Both great bikes. I commute on mine too.
@@snailsfrogslegs119 The Road King is in my opinion one of the best touring bikes ever made , The Valkyrie is a great bike also you can't go wrong with either one, Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍
Yes agree that is weird to buy a Valkyrie to save miles on a goofy road king. And it’s a VAL Kyrie, not Vul. Kyrie. I have a 98’ Valkyrie tourer model that I bought new, it’s always been a great bike. I love it. 😊🙏🏼💙🇺🇸.
Clean it, Do maintenance and ride it 😎👍
I'm definitely giving that a lot of thought, As always thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍👍
I have 3 valkyrie interstates, they run forever. The only thing is check your petcock for leaks wile it sits long periods, and avoid hydro lock
@@tom27151 Wow three I wish I had three , Thanks for the advice, Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍 👍
Mustang seat is a nice upgrade from the stock. I see a lot of ultima seats as well on Valkyrie. The only area I know that’s prone to leak is the shifter seal due to the longer shaft. I replaced the seal (easy and cheap), and installed the “shifter buddy” support device that a guy sells on facebook.
I was thinking about the mustangs seat I have heard good reviews about those and I'll definitely keep in mind the shifter seal , Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍👍
I had a 97 Valk Standard. I added the Kuryakyn wide style levers and they are way more comfortable than stock. I also added the Kuyrakyn chrome transmission covers and WOW what a difference in appearance. The one downside was it acted like an ecco chamber while the starter was cranking and it gave it a tinny sound but only while cranking. I added the "Rumble Roads" amplified chrome speakers that mount on the handle bars and they were incredible. Most everything else was stock including the pipes. I know the 6 into 6's sound awesome but not for us as we mostly do long distance touring. One last thing I will definately recommend is a set of driving lights. I am a huge fan of "Clearwater Lights". They are based in California and manufacture high end LED lighting systems. I have owned two sets of them and they are incredibly powerful. They provide the ultimate in daytime riding protection so other drivers can see you in the haze and fogg of other traffic on the road. I truly believe they have saved my arss many times. Hope that helps!
Thank you very much for all the information I really appreciate it , I will definitely check it all out , Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍👍
I'll second the 444s tames those hard bumps and uneven roads greatly, add an Ultimate seat and you'll soon have your preferred ride. Stock pegs have never have given me any problem.
I definitely agree, The seat definitely has got to be upgraded , Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍👍
I changed the rear shocks to progressive 444 and now it's my preferred ride. It has the same grenade clutch pack as Harleys so watch out for that.
Thank you for the suggestions , And the heads up, Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍👍
Keep those grips, the stock grips are horrible and make your hands fall asleep. The other stock thing that sucks is the headlight. Apparently the floorboards do not work well with the shifter and the engine. If you have tiny elf feet you may be able to do it. The stock seat for me is confortable for three hours or so, but absolutley those forward pegs wpuld be nice to have.
I definitely agree with you, Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍
I live on the Eastern shore of Maryland near Ocean City and the wife and I travel everywhere on our 99 Valkyrie touring. I put a manual cruise control and running lights and mine has the hard standard bags and the small luggage rack on the back! We do Oc bike week, Blue ridge Pkwy, skyline Dr with no problems of body fatigue and the wife never complained about the foot pegs. This year we are going to hillbilly hotdogs in West Virginia and going to explore Kentucky some. I think you will like how it rides and end up taking it on longer rides. Most of the maintenance is easy, I've rebuilt the carbs because of leaking ( TH-cam videos) and replaced the air filter because it is under the tank. I put new tires on myself and used balance beads and it never rode so well. There is a lot of extra stuff I would like to have but the budget (wife) doesn't allow that. Hopefully see ya out there somewhere, safe rides!
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video, And thank you for the information about the Valkyrie, I'm sure the more I ride it I will gain confidence in the bike I have heard nothing but positive reviews on it , We do a lot of riding around in the Great Smoky Mountains and North Carolina and Virginia we make at least 2 or more trips to that area in the spring summer always on the Harley Road King, Maybe will take the Honda Valkyrie on one of the trips this year. Really looking forward to the riding season.. Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍👍
In 2015 I bought a '97 Tourer with about 41,000 miles from the second owner. The paperwork indicated a Honda shop had changed the timing belts at 6 years. I triked it and didn't put a lot of miles on it, but was concerned about the age, even though Honda says the belts are good for 100,000 miles. A friend who works on motorcycles and has riden Goldwings for years said not to worry about it, but the flat 6 is a no clearance engine, if a belt breaks and a cam stops with a valve in the open position and a piston makes contact it can be catastrophic. I had a mechanic, which I'm not, service it last year and checked the belts and tensioners and he said not to worry about it. New belts are cheap insurance.
I was also concerned about the age of mine had my guy look at them and he said it was all good that the belts were in excellent shape. But I'm still a little worried lol I don't need a catastrophic failure, But I trust my guy , Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍
👍👍
Thanks for watching much appreciated 👍👍👍
I like what northbysoutheast said. Maybe you do need floorboards. That bike will outlast us. Enjoy
I'm definitely going to put floorboards on it I can't stand pegs and I know the wife does not like pegs either, As always thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍👍
I have the same bike, I put new carb caps to give it a better visual appeal.
@@dennisberg2474 I bet it does give a better look the valkyrie is a nice-looking bike, Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍
If the Harley can go 250 thousand miles why are you trying to conserve the mileage ? Might it be that they are way more expensive to maintain?
@@elicastro42 They are very expensive to maintain no doubt about it, two bikes are better than one in case God forbid one breaks down , Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated 👍👍
Check the timing belts. They may look ok but think about the age.
Yeah I was wondering about them , they may have been replaced but I sort of doubt it but I will check them out, Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍👍
What wind shield is that on your Valkyrie? I’m looking for a nice big one like that and I’m not having a lot of luck.
I'm not sure it was on the bike when I bought it , Sorry I couldn't help you, Thanks for watching 👍 👍
@@JRBACZYKno worries I’ll keep searching online. Yessir love the bike ride safe
Thank you, Be safe out there
If it ain't broke , don't fix it .
You have a Harley that you're afraid to put miles on ?
I agree with you , if it ain't broke don't fix it. No I'm not afraid to put miles on it at all it's a 2019 I bought new in 2020 and it already has 20,000 miles on it I will ride it anywhere , I mainly bought the Honda Valkyrie because I always liked them , Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated 👍👍
@@JRBACZYK
I get it. I'm 75 , been riding Harleys all my life .
Bought a 97 Valkyrie a couple years ago. It's an amazing machine.
I have not been out on mine very much I bought it back in the fall but I'm looking forward to riding it more this riding season 👍👍
@@JRBACZYK
You'll love it !
Why did you buy totally negative
Not sure what you're saying, what is totally negative ???
You’re a Harley man, should not have bought a nice Valkyrie like that. Your heart is not in it. 😊🇺🇸💙
@@St.Michael-Ross The valkyrie is an awesome bike all I was saying it was totally different than the Harley
And I'll buy whatever I like and I'll discuss whatever I like on my TH-cam channel much respect but if you don't like it you don't have to watch have a nice day 👍👍
