Is the valve damaged? Internal components may just be standard schrader parts if your lucky. If they are operative, the ugliness of the threads can be covered by caps. If the threaded portion needs replacing, I'd consider cutting them off, drilling and tapping, and installing complete schrader valves.

Sport, here are the pics you wanted of yamahondaman's work.
remeber, mine is a 84/85 but he do make the caps for 86/87 (I am sure he do anyway)
