2014 Honda Valkyrie Accessories, Part 2 - Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, VA

Got some new accessories installed on the Valk last week. Some wind deflectors, mirror extenders and a belly pan. Links for each are below.
This was filmed in one of my favorite places in Richmond, Hollywood Cemetery, next to the Confederate Women's Memorial. Look carefully at it and you will see it is constructed without any mortar, and the stones are all held in place by their own weight and fit. I have always marveled at this structure.

Thanks Vindual! I plan to! The bike is all serviced and the new helmet is now fully accessorized and I am ready to ride.

Video Sounds good Craig, And the bike is looking AWESOME!

Just wanted to say hi Craig! Always appreciate the shout out on Elvisboys videos🙂 I lived in Virginia for several years and love, love that part of the country and the old cemeteries there. If you're ever in Abingdon I recommend you visit the cemetery off Main street. Elisa

Thanks Elisa! I appreciate the view and comment. I toured Hollywood Cemetery with an old girlfriend when I first got here, and thought it was an odd place to visit, but immediately became enamored with its beauty and tranquility and history. Look forward to seeing more of you in future vids!

Nice upgrades brother. That Valkyrie is a sweet ride for sure. The fog lamps will just about make her complete!

[@crupert23225]

Thanks Mark! As I mentioned in the video, I've been waiting for a "new and improved" GoPro chin mount for the Neotec helmet to finally arrive at Ride Tech Moto, which was the only retailer that sold this particular mount. They finally notified me today that it had come in, and I immediately placed my order. So that should be arriving this week, and I can't wait to test it out. The bike is now ready to roll, and soon the helmet cam will be too!

Nice video. The weather is really heating up in the south now. I’m just below you in NC.

[@crupert23225]

Thanks for watching! I'm a total amateur at videoing, and I can't even figure out how to use my editor program. Also thanks for subscribing! I appreciate the comments. Pollen here is horrible right now. Hate to even get the bike out in this mess.

That's pretty cool and awesome vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come.

[@crupert23225]

Thank you RodKris! Appreciate you watching. I plan to start doing more now that it's warm again!

[@TheGatopeludo]

Very beautiful bike! ..I have a question, I'm not very knowledgeable about motorcycles. Does your bike have slipper clutch?

[@crupert23225]

Thanks for watching and for the compliment! I had to do a bit of research to determine the answer to your question. www.motorcyclistonline.com/cruiser-comparison-cruisers-test-ducati-diavel-vs-honda-gold-wing-valkyrie-vs-star-vmax-deal-devil/ If you scroll down this article to the technical specs, you'll see that the Ducati is described as a wet multi-plate slipper clutch, where the Valkyrie is described only as a wet multi-plate. If the Valk were a slipper, I'm sure they would have labeled it the same.

The obelisque was very cool. Do you know how old that is? Thanks for the tour of the new accessories. Can you feel a difference with the deflectors? I may need to look at the extenders for my mirrors, an inch would make a big difference. Looked like a very nice day in Richmond. Thanks, Craig. 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻

[@crupert23225]

That monument was built in 1869! Unbelievable how well it has withstood the elements. I didn't experience any difference with the deflectors, but it was the first time I used them, and it was warm. I'm certain in colder weather they'd make a big difference. And of course, big bugs and rocks will only be occasional. Better to have and not need, I always say! The extenders are a real help. For the price, they do a great job. I simply could not get them installed, despite being what should be a super simple job. The two cables on the right side (one for throttle and the other I don't know) would not yield to the part, so like so many other projects, I finally gave up and went to Honda. If you get a pair, I'll be interested to hear your experience of installing them.

Hey. All due respect, but when was the last time your brake and clutch fluid was changed? It looked pretty dirty in their little window.

[@crupert23225]

I like a man who watches with such attention to detail, just as I do! I keep an eye on those windows and so far they look pretty clear, and Honda didn't say anything about them last month. I watched clear through this video and couldn't see anywhere with a real clear view of the windows. I always wonder if they shouldn't be changed anyway, as I don't know when the hydros were first filled. Lots of these bikes sat for quite a while before being sold, so I don't know if they were filled in 2014 or when the bike actually sold. I'll keep an eye on them though. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.

You probably increased your fuel mileage almost 0.1% for the aerodynamic belly pan. 😁

[@crupert23225]

Yes indeed. I did the math and that is precisely what I calculated! Thanks for watching.

[@bigGeo5460]

All done with vids

[@crupert23225]

Was that a question? I know I haven't done one in a while and I'm long overdue. I've been frustrated with my audio results and it kind of took the wind out of my sails. I'll still be doing them. Have a big trip planned for early August and hopefully will have a few to share after that! Thanks for watching.
