Honda Valkyrie - The Makeover

Honda Valkyrie - The Makeover
Episode 2
Remember the motorcycle we bought to be able to get around more easily ?
Now it is time to give it a makeover...
Remember: this is not a instructional video. it is only a little entertainment to show what has been done. I am not a mechanic and did this by researching the net and also a little trial and error.

God, I love this motorcycle. Finally I buy one at the beginning of January brought from Canada. I greet you from Bucharest. Romania. A motorcycle like this is very rare in my country. Thanks for the video!

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Indeed brother. These bikes are really wonderful and also rare here in Norway. Did you buy one or are you going to buy one now in January ? Imagine, it has become 7 video's and more to follow, so the bike is very interresting. Thank you for watching and have a very good and safe new year !

[@seesaw7289]

Makes me want to go our and polish mine! It was mint for a decade, but 7 years without a garage after moving took some toll! Runs like new.

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Hello Brother. Do that. Make out some time this Christmas and spend a few hours with some relaxing bike cleaning. Use a wireless noise-cancelling headset, some favorite music and make that Fat Lady shine. And do it before new year ! Then at new years eve, rise your glass and wait for spring ! Thank you for watching, more Valkyrie Video's will come later. Have a great Christmas, be safe and enjoy your family and friends.

Hilsener. I enjoy your videos, they are very well done. I just purchased a '98 Valkyrie 2 weeks ago, but I live in Michigan in the upper U.S., and February is a bad time to ride. I was lucky to get this one, it has only 9200 miles on it, and is almost perfect. I am almost afraid to take it out on the road, I just keep it in the barn. Jeg drømmer for nå. Ride safe!

[@CityWalkerProductions]

You just bought the best personal transportation system you will ever own :-) Congratulations. Now you could spend the waiting time changing it to what you want it to be.

[@jbtoptc7327]

Great video. I just purchased a 2001 Valkyrie with 14K miles and black as yours with a silver stripe. This gives me ideas and I love the cluster you added !

[@CityWalkerProductions]

I really felt lost without the clock to see. And the voltmeter now revealed it when the alternator stopped working. (New video about that coming). I hope you will have a very good experience using your new Valkyrie. The bike is great and when you start looking, you can find an enormous variation of accessories to buy and add. More videos are coming when we put on even more stuff here. Thank you for watching. !

[@MrStrocube]

Nice one, man. Sweet bike. I just brought home a 1999 Honda Valkyrie, with just under 16k miles. I absolutely love it. 😃 Cheers

[@CityWalkerProductions]

It will serve you very well for years. I am happy to see so many people watching these video's 'sand loving these bikes. More videos will follow ! Thank you very much for watching !

[@bobbyfranklin3734]

Beautiful bike there man. I have a red and black 2000 touring model. Absolutely love it

[@CityWalkerProductions]

They really are special, and we love to take good care of them :-) THANK YOU FOR WATCHING !

[@BazzerObama]

Great job, she’s sparkling…..I have a ‘97 standard in black, she’s 26 years old this year but looks like she’s just come out of the showroom, as does yours. Enjoy the coming season 👍

[@CityWalkerProductions]

They certainly are a special breed. I do not know any other motorcycle that makes me so happy to ride around ! Will also try to get out some more videos this year. Has been very busy lately. Thank you for watching and have a good season 🙂

[@adamthirdbourne324]

Doing our best. more vidoes will follow after we move house soon now. Thank you for watching !

[@billyteekel1230]

Beautiful bike. Those rear shock bushing could use some love 👀

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Yes, when spring comes it will all be disassembled and cleaned hardcore. More video's to follow in the spring. Right now there is too much work in real life, so the Valkyrie will be stored until march about. Thank you for watching !

[@randypullman1155]

Wow that new gauge cluster look fascinating! Are they readily available still? Nice look Valkyrie 👌

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Yes, you can buy these fron Germany. Price is outrageous though. Thank you for watching !

FINE RIDE....IT'S THE BEST CONNECTION TO HEAVEN.....VALKYRIE

[@CityWalkerProductions]

And the ride gets better for every upgrade and accessory ! Thank you for watching !

[@patrickbodine1300]

You ride!

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Continuously. Thank you for watching. More Valkyrie Videos will be made after we move house.

[@neilbrown82]

Good looking bike but I never understood the fake pod air filters or fake velocity stacks seems pretty silly to me

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Well you said it yourself... good looking bike.... amd all the elements work together to give that impression. Thank you for watching and stay safe !

[@Todd66]

Nice gauges. You could leave a link to where they can be purchased. The bike looks great. I wish all my chrome was in that good of condition.

[@CityWalkerProductions]

It is stated several places already. Parts are mainly bought from Valkyrieparts in Germany. They have all parts and more for Valkyrie's. Thank you for watching. More Valkyrie videos will be coming.

[@Todd66]

@@CityWalkerProductions i must have missed that part, thank you for clarifying. I’ll be watching your next video, well done Sir.

[@mitchfountain6523]

Great soundtrack. Where'd you get the velocity stacks? Do you have an ordering reference?

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Hello There. These are available form Germany. www.valkyrieparts.de/epages/63631381.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/63631381/Products/%2203.66%20U5%22 Thank you for watching. More Valkyrie Videos will come later. In the process of moving house and everything is busy 🙂

[@mitchfountain6523]

Signed up and adding stuff to my wish list. Thanks so much!

[@mavrickmazthejourneymantat1644]

Would be nice to have a link in the bio to where you bought all the parts

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Some of the parts are listerd under the respective video's. There has been questions about these. But some has been bought from eBay etc and I do not really have a complete list of these. If you have anything particular in mind, I will try to find the part seller for you. Thank you for watching. More video's of the Valkyre series will follow when other projects have been finished.

[@williamreagan8316]

Where did you find those air filters for the carbs and was it hard to put on, any problems,thanks

[@CityWalkerProductions]

These are cosmetic only. They have no function and the real air filter is hidden under the tank. They are discontinued but can still be bought from Germany. More videos coming later. Thank you for watching.

[@theodorstravels]

Could you tell me where to get this kind of passing lights and mounts?

[@CityWalkerProductions]

If you saw them on this video it is the Cobra kit that came like that. This one is not in production any more. In a later video you can see us changing these lights to something better, still utilizing the Cobra Mounts. There is a couple of German specialist shops that might have old Cobra kits for sale or similiar. Thank you for watching, more Valkyrie videos will come later. Have a great summer.

[@bbasham3160]

Nice bike!!!...I have its sister.

[@CityWalkerProductions]

Then you need to present the sister with a video :-) Thank you very much for watching and have a happy new year !

i bought mine at autozne many many yrs ago but i havent seen them sold there in yrs can also buy from any auto speed shop or amazon www.amazon.com/RC-1060-Universal-Clamp-Air-Filter/dp/B00062YO8G/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=cone+air+filter&qid=1588792207&sr=8-6

[@CityWalkerProductions]

They were on the bike when it was bought. I do not think they are produced any more since I have never seen them for sale. But they get the conversation going every time I show up at a motorcycle gathering.... Also, you need to video your own and make something to put out for us to see !
