You can buy it now for $125, or you can bid on it and risk the price going higher at auction.

I may be wrong. (It happened once before.) I think when I first got my used (3400 miles) 2014 Valkyrie and went online to buy a service manual I spent around $50 (plus t&s). I'm not saying that they aren't worth more now, and they probably aren't printing many more, but I am just saying...
I'm glad to have mine for what I paid for it, and if I had just bought a used Valk and it didn't even have the small owner's manual come with it, a common issue, I'd probably gladly pay quite a bit more just to have the information banked in my toolbox. The service manual is very comprehensive and you need one, whatever the market price happens to be.

The pdf is free, so there's that.

I may be wrong, probably am, but I was an enthusiastic new Valkyrie owner in 2016 and wanted to get my hands on anything related to it, but I don't think a pdf was available then? Not without a cost. I've since downloaded it free for backup, and maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but when I'm out in the garage I prefer to thumb through a service manual rather than trying to get the right tab on my phone to pull up a pdf. Something satisfying about it on the workbench and not worrying if it (the book) is able to pick up my Wi-Fi from the house. Bigger "screen", too.

Totally understand. I get that. Just saying, if you don't want to spend the money, it's there for free.

Thanks for the replies. I looked back and I paid $165 from repairmanual.com. It is listed on that site now for $89 now. I will change the listing to allow best offers if anyone is interested.

I prefer to sell on eBay because it feels safer for some reason.

 

[Bigswole]

It wouldn’t let me make it best offer but it did allow me to adjust the price to reflect the current market price a little better.

I changed the starting bid to $50 and lowered the buy it now.

 

[Bigswole]

The manual has sold. I know I didn’t post a lot on this site but I found it VERY helpful while I owned the Valkyrie and spent a lot of time reading posts on this site.

I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and comments on these forums along the way and I wish everyone the best.

Thank you all.
