Setting the Valve Clearances on a Honda Valkyrie Flat Six

Setting the valve clearance is recommended (according to the Honda Maintenance Schedule) every 12,000 miles (19,200 kms) on this motorcycle. I wanted to learn how to do this myself instead of paying the dealer to do it for me. I used the Honda Service Manual as a reference to guide me through the process.
