About Us
The name Valkyrie is synonymous with the word PASSION.
Flat Six Carburetors and Services LLC was established in 2021. It was fashioned together by Dave Wilder and Jared Hinkle, with what we would consider Divine intervention.
David Wilder has ridden motorcycles for over 55 years and has long been known as the “Valkyrie Whisperer.” He has brought back to life hundreds of bikes that have had some sort of troublesome past, either by neglect or modifications to enhance the sound or performance of these beauties. He started in the specialty of carburetor work in the 1970’s and then learned other unique skills required to maintain these strong-willed steeds.
Jared Hinkle has been on motorcycles for the past 40 + years and has owned over 50 + motorcycles. With this vast array of motorcycle exposure, he declares that the classic Honda Valkyrie is the “Best-In-Class” to hit all the high marks from the expectations of owning a motorcycle. This would include, horsepower, torque, reliability, styling and over all respect amongst its peers. This is where the Honda Valkyrie scores 5 Stars in every category.
David and Jared both have a PASSION for Honda Valkyries and the community in which they support, but they both have a GREATER PASSION. This passion is for the Lord Jesus Christ and for helping with needs of others. Both David and Jared support mission opportunities that support people in need. David and his wife support overseas missions in Africa that are meeting the physical and spiritual needs of large communities for the basic needs of life. Jared and his wife support local ministries and individuals that have physical and spiritual needs. Jared is a co-founder for a men’s ministry, which helps men with their spiritual relationships and the importance of helping others in need. Through this business venture of Flat Six, both Dave and Jared take a portion of the profits and support these ministries, which makes this a wonderful adventure through every customer interaction.
