Pics of Valk Interstate Dis assembly needed

[kimed123456]

Anyone with Pics from a complete or partial dis assembly of their Valk Interstate would be appreciated. My project, that was to be complete in three months, stretched to a year. I (input your choice of words to describe stupidity  ) did not dis assemble my Valk the proper way and now have many bags of parts and a limited memory of where they need to be returned. I need pics of the saddlebags, rear fender, trunk, front fairing, and radiator pods. I have the service manual and a Clymers on the way, and pulled up the parts lists and blow ups, but for the mechanically challenged, the photos of an actual project should be a bigger help.

Hondas service manual is pretty good. I just got through putting one back together.( still waiting on fairing )
Did you put hardware from each piece ie L saddlebag,R saddlebag, fairing into  separate  bags and label each one? If not you should have. There are so many little screws,washers and bushings it would drive a man crazy trying to figure it out from one big bag of pieces.

Does this help?

Thank you for the ron ayers microfiche list, That one is a lot easier to work than hondadirectline.coms version.

I didn't break everything into bags like I should've, I restate the "stupidity" and "did not dis assemble properly" remark. I broke things into...saddle bags, trunk, front fairing, rear fender, bags. Nightmare...close....recognize stupidity...BIG YUP ! Next, fix the stupidity and get my ride back. I know I'm not the only to have torn apart a valk for painting and I KNOW there is someone who has done it out there, and will have been clearly smarter than me AND taken (insert appropriate expletive) photos like I should have.
Beside cursing myself....I know a lot of these bikes were built over here but I can't over how Harley's seem to have certain things done with a couple screws and these bike use 20 to do the same (expletive) thing !....Oh....I learned early on on....I'm not a (colorful expletive) motorcycle mechanic either  Thanks in advance for any help !

Well hang in there you did break it down into sections. My suggestion would be lay out parts (from one  section) on a table and seperate screws and such into like groups that will make that section much easier. I have also found that a calm head is not easy to keep putting one back together but helps tremendously. I didn't take pictures either but went back together working by myself in a couple of days.
When trunk goes back together make sure you sit bottom half on bike and temporarily hold it on with the front mounting bolt ( the one behind passenger seat) then run wires then put the inside in and then attach to bike don't ask  had to pull it back off and back apart

Where do you live? I'm sure there is someone out there willing to help you. It shouldn't take more than an hour or two to put it back together.

It was all put back together in one day with a little help from my friends. (D/FW VRCC Group). I like to call them my friends.
