I think the Valk is just like the 1500 Wing....speedo drive is from the front wheel......

thanks-mine is a 1800-I keep reading to install a 70series rear tire to correct the speedo!

Will not work on the 1800
1st it's and 80 not a 70 series tire and an 80 will rub the fender . ( doesn't on the 1500 )
2nd the 1800 gets its speed info from the transmission not the front wheel as on the 1500.
Sorry .

Thanks John-I'm sorry, but it is a 70series tire to "correct" the speedo on early 1800's. Was supposed to be corrected w/the 09 model year.
Also, as far as the rubbing goes-there are a lot of car tires being installed on Wings now!!!!!!!!!!
Go to GL1800Riders and check out the "darkside" forum.
