99 Valkyrie Interstate

#1

Post by Earl43P »

“Fishtailed, flipped and wearing it well” says it.
Mother’s Day 2014 accident, replaced the windshield that I was flung through like an apple off a stick from the tank-slapper. Paint scratches and poor chrome abound. But quite a runner!

Just took it to Billings, MT in June (6200 mile round trip) and had to replace the rear pads last weekend. They’ve been a problem for a while. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Open to offers, just done with it. Bought an 08 GL1800 😎 and enjoying the KTM390A way too much to have 3 bikes.

I’d support a fly and ride from Pittsburgh airport if that’s your choice, slap on a plate and it’ll go to your home, eventually. It tends to take wrong turns that end in dirt or gravel, so buyer beware.

I toyed with fixing it up aesthetically, even looked at another 99 IS on Friday for $2500 in Normalville, PA. It didn’t have much better tins so, not worth my time and effort.

There’s about 117,000 miles on mine with zero engine problems, starts and runs well. You’ll want new tires when you get it home, front (a rear tire) is smaller than stock and getting cuppy and rough at high speed, rear is a car tire wearing in the middle. I’m loving stock MC tires on the new GL1800 in these mountains.

It’s going to go cheap, likely to the first cash offer in person.
I’ll text, 571-369-009three and willingly and honestly talk and send pictures about all the ugly. Tell your friends! I’m only available to show it Friday through Monday.

You'll love the 1800 even more on the safer car tires. Better grip in gravel and the wet, plus much longer wear and.... Run Flats! The only one I don't recommend is Dunlops. Check the GL1800riders.com DarkSiders section for most recent recommendations. Some require letting the air out to ~5psi to slide in (I always did mine on its side with the center stand out).

PS, Valk is so tempting, but too many bikes to store now!

I probably have 140,000 miles dark side between my 93 GW and the Valk. Mostly double darkside on both, plus another 25k on the ST1300. I’m enjoying stock size brand new tires 🤷🏼‍♂️ in the mountains.
