More Wrenching: Blacking Out The Valkyrie
I did a little more work today on my 99 Honda Valkyrie.
Mostly taking parts off, painting them in black engine paint, and putting them back on.
I did get to do a little bit of work, turning the rear (pillion) seat into the front seat. It's smaller, and gives the bike a more wasp-waisted look. I like it.
The front fender will go back on, but I'll chop it later, as well as the rear fender.
I had to turn a Phillips into a Slotted, thanks to Mr. Dremel.
I remounted the rear seat. I took the rear bracket off, and made a couple spring clips out of 1 inch perforated strap stock from Home Depot. It's not comfortable, or luxurious, but it's a bobber, not a rolling sofa. ;)
More photos in the daylight tomorrow.
Best,
JBR
