Dealer nearby has 99 Valkyrie with MotorTrike conversion...what to ask
Saw the bike on their website and sent them e-mail asking if the kit had any additional options, they did not do the conversion and the website said the conversion was done in 2013, but no other info. I may take a ride to see the bike.
Any things I should know or ask them about a MotorTrike conversion? Was there an issue with the drive shaft(?) a few years back.
Thanks for your help

Valkyrie
I've owned this one since 1999 and love it, no looking to add a Valkyrie Trike
That is a beautiful looking machine. It almost makes me envious.

Owned a 2000 Valkyrie Interstate til I sold it to a friend last year, & bought my GW Roadsmith. The Valkyrie is a great piece of machinery. I loved that motorcycle, did a lot of wrenching/customizing on it. Not foolproof (what is?) but damn near perfection for a big, long distance cruiser.
GW takes it for a touring bike though.

Agree, whatever trike I get, it will be a Valkyrie or GoldwingOwned a 2000 Valkyrie Interstate til I sold it to a friend last year, & bought my GW Roadsmith.

I bought a 98 Valkyrie with a motor trike kit 2 years ago. Haven' had any problems at all with mine. Had 8100 miles on it when I got it. Had a full service done when I got it home. So far I changed the front tire, had stress cracks on the side walls, new handle bars, the reach was uncomfortable for me, and had a 6 degree rake kit installed. See if the trike your getting has a rake kit installed, if not you'll want one. I got mine from Zook on here.
