This weekend past, my brother and I did a lot of work to the Valk. New wheel bearings and seals front and rear, driveline maintenance, cleaned and re-oiled the air filter, removed some electrical add-ons from the PO that were causing trouble, removed some of the chrome, and finally added a 205-60/16 Falken ZIEX Dark Side tire.

What's a Dark Side tire? For bikes large enough, it means I'm using a car tire. I know; crazy, right? Apparently not; I first heard about it on the Valk Riders site. After reading and researching, I decided to give it a try. So far so good, and it looks great on the bike. Time will tell...
