After waiting for weeks, my new (non current) 2014 Valkyrie was delivered from nearly 900 miles away. There were none for sale that I could find in Oklahoma, so my first time on one was when it was delivered. I am all smiles.

Welcome to the forum!

I was pretty much the same when I bought mine. There were none in any showrooms anywhere that I could find, but plenty still crated in warehouses. So I took a leap of faith (same color, too!).

Good luck with the new scoot!

Awesome! You will love this bike and hope your weather is better than mine so you can ride.

You will like it for sure. I have the same color. Nice choice.
Best

I also have the same color. So far have added the MRA Vario Touring Screen, a Viking Tail Bag and use the AirHawk seat cushion for comfort.

Hey Uncle Milt. How do you like the MRA Vario Touring Screen? Where do you feel the wind most with the windshield on? Have you used any other windshields?

I have had my 14 Valk for a couple of months and 2k miles. I have the Honda tall screen and while it keeps the wind off I think it looks too big for the bike. Just detracts from the look of the bike. Also at 5'10" the top of the windshield is right at my eye level so I tend to hunch down to see through the window which results in neck fatigue on my usual 300 mile rides.

This is the only screen I have tried so far on the Valkyrie. Mostly keeps the wind off of the chest and neck area. Arms, shoulders and head are in the wind but very little if any buffeting.
I am 6' tall with a 31" inseam so that can make a little bit of a difference. The MRA screen does have a spoiler with I think 6 positions. I just leave it all the way down in town and all the way up on the highway.
I also did not like the look of the Honda screen.

I ended up buying a gustafsson but in your situation I would just trim the windshield. There are several posts on various bike forums about how to do that so just do a google search. It would be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a new windshield.

honda tall windshield

919valkyrie, I have the Honda tall screen as well. I'm 5'7" and was experiencing extreme buffeting. I would suggest purchasing metal mending plates and 2 nuts/washers/bolts from lowes or homedepot to kick out the bottom of the shield and add some lean. I did this in addition to having the top attachment cut back and re-welded now mine is about perfect and looks smaller/sits lower. ( I believe I could have done without the cut and weld, but I had that done first.)

65f100 - I'm about a month 1/2 in advance of you on new old stock 2014, now at 644 miles, likewise on the smiles. No regrets. This forum is friendly and robust with information. (As noted above in windshield discussion) Likewise I have a tall Honda windshield and am waiting for the right deal on another one to chop. (winter/summer) I have cut windshields before and found a belt sander works really well for evening out and finishing the edge. I'll come up with hardware to quick release and change the shield(s) out. I imagine Oklahoma has some wide open territories to ride, Enjoy.......
