A lot of talk about switching bikes, I might join in

My 98 Valk was my favorite of all the bikes I have owned. Loved the simplicity and the attitude of the bike. My 6 has 51K on it. I go back and forth on keeping it and have test rode a few. I like it and am also tired of buying one and dumping money into it to fit me. I came close to 100k with the Valk and I am sure the 6 will go that long if I want to keep it.

I hear ya on this one. I sold my 99 standard about 6 years ago and it still has a special place in my heart. There was something really engaging about the way those 6 carbs breathed in the acceleration. It's not as if it was necessarily faster than other bikes, it was just a really visceral connection to the road. I also enjoyed the shape of the bars, having my wrists in a more neutral position, and have considered having some angled bar tubes fabricated for the Heli's to approximate the position.

I just talked to Santa (the wife) and got agreement to bring me a handle bar riser set and new black Isogrips.
Will do the install, windshield swap, oil and filter change along with new air filter after the holidays.

The bike should be ready to go for the spring warm up.

Best wishes to everyone for a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year!!

Risers were probably one of my cheapest and best investments. I rode with ISOs for a while because I enjoyed them on my VTX. I eventually went back to OEM because I never felt like I had a firm enough grip on that awesome F6 power. Lol
