THOSE OF US WHO SUCCUMB TO THE URGE to modify our motorcycles tend to fall into two categories those who plan a project down to the last detail and those who go to where the spirit moves them. When embarking on our custom Valkyrie project we fell into the latter.
Our project sports the first production-seat Mustang shipped for the Valkyrie. The wide Studded touring seat fit the variety of buns we've placed in it with nary a complaint on short or long rides. The same is true of the pillion which is easily removable. Unfortunately, if we want to take advantage of the removable perch and give the bike a roadster look, we'd have to remove the Valkyrie's backrest, a process that requires a lift and an hour or so. Since Mustang knows how difficult it is to take the backrest off, they sell a matching Backrest Cover that straps easily over the pad. The seat is also with fringe for a little more. Completing the motif, Mustang’s studded Tank Bib dresses up the white expanse of the gas tank. A Fender Bib is also offered for those who decide they want to remove the pillion.
