1997 Honda Valkyrie

1HFSC3409VA001067

1997 Honda Valkyrie with Ural sidecar custom rig. This one-of-a-kind beauty sports a professionally-mounted Ural sidecar frame, retro-fabulous black/cream custom paint, 8-degree rake for easier handling, National quick-release windshield, driving lights and chrome wind-deflecting lowers, braided brake lines, Rattlebars Kick-Shifter, rear car tire for stability and longer life (cheaper than MC tires, too!), air horn, handlebar-mounted power outlet, OEM leather-studded saddle bags and a custom-fabricated leather solo sprung seat with easy access to the battery for trickle charging; waterproof charger included but not used. The sidecar itself includes duck boards, mat, windshield w/skirt, full tonneau for complete coverage and a Ural spare tire with mount for included-but-not-shown chrome luggage rack. Adjustable electric trim (used to "tilt" entire rig to adjust for road grade/slope/camber) was also professionally installed but is currently not working; easily repairable per my mechanic. It still rides great without it, but it's an option that's available to those who desire it. The rig has almost 42K miles, which on a Valk, means it's barely broken in! Recently detailed and now "living" indoors at my mechanic's shop, who will be happy to answer any/all "mechanical" questions. Russian "chrome" on spare (as typical) is peeling/rusted (was going to powder coat), and there is minor surface rust as would be expected on any used bike. This rig has been ridden by me twice cross-country and beyond without any problems and is ready to hit the road again. Health forces sale; my loss can be your gain. Have about 20K invested (this was supposed to be my "retirement" bike), but you can STEAL it for less than the price of the bike alone! Rig is located in the Fort Myers area of SWFL. Would prefer local viewing/sale, but any applicable transport arrangements and fees are the buyer's responsibility. Obviously, the rig is being sold "As-Is" but is ready to ride either cross-town or cross-country! Don't miss out. Additional pics (cut/paste address) available at http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o133/mtgent/Valk%20-%20Ural%20Rig%20For%20Sale/. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit (no buyer's remorse - DON'T bid unless you intend to BUY!) is due within 24 hours of sale via PayPal. Bike and title will not be released until I have payment in full via bank wire transfer (non-local) that CLEARS or locals may use a cashier's check/money order (again, that CLEARS). Cash is always a welcomed form of payment. Please, SERIOUS & SOLVENT buyers only; no trades accepted. Thanks and GOOD LUCK bidding!

He is happy to answer any/all MECHANICAL questions; however, I'm asking EVERYONE to bear in mind, he's a WORKING shop owner, so please, MECHANICAL QUESTIONS ONLY to him. Any/all other questions can be directed to me via Ebay, and I will publically post the questions and answers ASAP as I've been doing. Just trying to be fair.
