After a 3627 mile in under 72 hours (second highest mileage in that time frame ever ridden) Iron Butt Run on a Valkyrie CT seat, I started collecting them to replace the hard-ass aftermarket seats on some of the 18 Valkyries I have bought and sold, restored to stock. Personally I found It is the best long-haul saddle I've sat in 56 of riding. I don't need them any more. From my personal bins: my Valkyrie seats: 1: Valkyrie Passenger seat, not a mar or mark on it. Replaced with aftermarket seat when very close to new about 23 years ago, bought 18 years ago off the shelf. Nice, clean, supple.
