Custom F6B

[MinnetonkaMike]

A bike builder (Walz) took the F6B platform and made it into a cruiser - I can't imagine this was an easy task considering all the fabrication work. The end result is something closely resembling a Triumph Rocket III in my opinion. It doesn't look too bad but I like the fairing and the the factory goodies on my F6B. Thoughts?

It looks really bad-azz. I really like it, especially the black intake, headers, and pipes.

Notice that only the right side is shown. I don't think the left side would look nearly as good. With the mono shock and final drive on the right, the left rear would look void and empty.
Mirrors? Good luck seeing behind you. Turn signals? In the bar ends. Speedo and gauges? Who needs 'em.

That being said, I'd still love to cruise around town on it.

Highway? Not so much.

That is NOT a former F6B

That looks like a modified Valkyrie 1500

That is a Valk not a redone F6B. Frame is Valk. Tank looks like it came off a avatar. Engine is a 1500.

:lolup: Ditto to the above posts identifying that as a 1520 cc Valkyrie. Try F6C custom

You are correct, tis a Gl1500 based unit. Tell by carbs, radiator, and cam belt cover at front of head.:cheers:

Too lazy to Google: Did the 1500 have the monoshock rear like the current models?

Two shocks, left side coil over and air shock on the right side. Never understood why only one side was air.

Yep...Valk... Someone would need a wuppin to do that to a F6

JMHO, that's what the new Valk should have looked like! .batman-smilie.

Uh, are you talking about a Valkyrie? No air ride on the 1500 Valkyrie. And stock , the springs are covered on both shocks. I have Progressives 444s on my Valk in the rear.Those do have an exposed spring. You can buy air shocks for the Valkyries, but they certainly didn't come with them.

The only part of that thing that even resembles an F6 is the front tire :icon_rolleyes:

Previous Valkyrie will stay in hearts forever ... Good memories for many .

[MinnetonkaMike]

my bad - yeah it was advertised as an "F6" I'm so used to reading that as "F6B" that I completely overlooked some of those obvious details. Still, a pretty cool custom.

I wouldn't care what it is. I'd love to have it. That thing is sweet. :yes::clap2:
