just one comment: warning decals on the gas tank have to go... I'm surprised that the previous owner never removed them.

Elvis!! ..... you were reading my mind....whats left of it! Have already started picking at them, They have been on there so long it will be a process.

CONGRATULATIONS on the new ride, very sharp bike. The Valkyrie is one of the nicest looking bikes that has ever been made, and you my friend, have a bike to be proud of.

The Suzuki decals were the nastiest things to remove. We had to use hair dry and a lot of patience. My Nomad's decals just peeled off and my current bike had no visible stickers.

Good luck with those decals and hope there will be no discoloration on that beautiful gas tank.

So far have only gotten the clear piece off of the largest one and a corner. Going to be super stubborn it looks like.

Nice bike!
Crown Royal bag! Crown Royal bag! You have what in that bag? :)
That bag was made for one thing & one thing only...Crown Royal!

Cheers

Success! The decals are all off. I still have a little more detail work to do on where they were but looks like it will turn out perfect. No color change at all.
