Suzuki M109, Big heavy tank that needs to be forced around corners
To be fair he is getting better with time on this bike but it not a natural corning machine, he lost a lot of speed when he got this (in the corners) and it eats tires..... Looks cool with the fat tire but 3000 miles on a commander II and looks like the cobra is going to be about the same and they cost! :surprise:
But he likes it and that is the important part, and loves its new look
As it was when he got it
Yup, he's forgotten forums and been working out and modding. He checked in on another forum a month or so ago.There is a member here that has one of those, but it's all tricked out. He hasn't been around in a while. His name was Big B.(I think)

Sounds like you're gettin' it whipped into harryc shape! And btw, the wife was oohing and aahing over the pics of your new ride, Harry!:wink2: She is a thing of beauty.I've been in full maintenance mode with the new to me Valkyrie. Within the last couple of days I've adjusted the shock pre-load to stiffen them, changed the oil and filter, changed the spark plugs, changed the coolant, put on a battery tender pigtail, ordered speed bleeders and an air filter, ordered a Honda service manual, ordered a luggage rack, ordered a peg relocation kit, ordered a bracket to be able to jack it up, adjusted the idle and the throttle free-play, and detailed it. Still to do; Change all of the hydraulic fluids, inspect the timing belt tension, replace the Honda petcock with a pingel petcock, and replace the brakes and the tires. I am hoping to get the season out of the current brakes and tires, but we'll see. I also took down the serial number of the YUASA AGM battery and contacted YUASA to figure out how old it was. They replied it was manufactured in Feb. 2013. So I think it's going to give a few more years of service ... which reminds me I have to check the charging system . These have an alternator that s fairly reliable, but I'll check it out anyway.
I'm glad I won't be out that way for a while!LOLHeck Ya 16 year old boys they go get there permits on Monday Lord save me lol

Wow, sounds like you have a bunch of fun wrenching coming up! I didn't see the link to your new bike until I hit the reply button so I'll head there now. Seems like a lot of people really like those Valkyrie's, let us know the progress. I never got to even sit on one yet, I'll have to find one to try out, not that I could afford a different bike yet but it doesn't hurt to look! Well maybe it does.

Thanks, it's on the list also and thanks for the weight correction. I was going off of internet published specs. I should just look in the manual. That just makes the handling that much more impressive. It doesn't feel like that heavy of a bike. Very well balanced ...Don't forget the "pumpkin" fluid.
On a note, Valk standards weigh in @ 751lbs. wet. Mine as it sets 800lbs.
