Seats

   Seats for the Honda Valkyrie are as individualized as Valkyrie riders themselves. Here are some companies that make seats for the Honda Valkyrie...

CORBIN SEATS                                                            
                                                               
                                                         Classic Solo w/Backrest's and Pillion

  My Presonal Favorite: The Studded Classic Solo with Backrest.
  Corbin Seats are Highly Customizable with many choices of Leathers, Colors, Designs, Stitching, Backrest Design, Ect.
  It's said among Valkyrie Riders that you either have a Corbin Butt or you don't. I guess I do. I really like the look of the Corbin seat and I find it amazingly comfortable. Did a 3 day, 1000 mile trip to Pikes Peak with mine this summer and never experienced the dreaded "butt burn". Very Comfortable seat. I'm 6'2" with a 33" inseam and this seat rides you low, "down in" the bike. Backrest is awesome. Very well made and offers all-day comfort.

ULITMATE SEATS

    Lowrider Studded  ...........   

Bigboy Studded  .....    
King Bigboy Studded  .....        
One of many customs.....        

   Ulitmate Seats are highly customizable with 3 different size seats and a wide selection of Colors, Designs, Stitching, Embroidery, ect. Made from Vinyl. Available with or without studs. Available in Lowrider, Bigboy and King Bigboy sizes. "Designed it to sit you "in" the seat, not 'on" the seat". Great looking seats. Highly praised by many Valkyrie riders..

RUSSELL DAYLONG SEATS

                                                        
                                  
                                                     

Ultimate Seats are made specifically for you. Built to your height, weight, inseam, riding position, ect.
Customizable in leather or Vinyl, Color, Fabric, Inserts, Patterns, Embroidery, Backrest, ect. The Valkyrie riders I've heard from who have these seats all say these are top of the line, wouldn't trade it for anything, seats!

MUSTANG SEATS
   
                                                        

   Some riders like Mustang seats, although selections appear to be limited to a few basic models, with or without Studs and Concho's.

Pt.2 1998 Honda GL1500C Valkyrie Project - How To Repair A Rusty Fuel Tank

         




BigBF: Custom Parts & Installation

                                                                     Click Here

   A great site with a wealth of information, custom parts, custom mods and excellent "How To's."
   Just a few examples...
                              

                                                                     Aeromach MFG

   Speaking from personal experience...
   If your going to add Velocity Stacks to your Valkyrie, you'll want to check out bigBF's very detailed "pictorial" installation instructions... (wouldn't have wanted to do the install without these pics)
                                                                         Click Here

  as well as check out his custom installation "Kit", complete with the spacer you'll need to raise the front of your tank just enough so that it clears the V-stacks...
                                                             


  and the "screens" you'll be wanting, to really set off those V-stacks...
                                                         

And you'll also be wanting this PDF file that I found (don't remember where), to show you where your going to want to easily add some rubber pads to the underside of your tank so that the tanks 4 points of contact with the frame are restored....
                                                                        Click Here

Or, how about a custom installed Kury ISO Shift Peg on your Valkyrie to match your other pegs and grips. (already ordered mine) His detailed installation instruction pictures show you how to do it yourself, or you can send him your shift peg arm and he'll do it for you!
                                                        

                                                                         Click Here

or how about pictorial instructions to adjust your valves, or front fork disassembly, and much more, as well as custom parts!
   You need to check out bigBF's site for yourself!
