Thanks for all the advise gentlemen. I took the bike out today and kept the rpms up. Tho the tach is inop. I'm not used to doing that. It was sputtering and lurching. Then suddenly it back fired and spit whatever it was that was holding it back out and took off. The tach started working and it was really a pleasant ride. Then......rain...and a lot of it. I had to ride 20 miles back home in a down pour. It was GREAT. I will follow your advice tho and check it all out. Thanks again for helping me out.

I stand corrected.. The ad read that it was an 83 when I bought it but you are correct its an 84. I double checked the title..

Thank you for changing the orientation. Yes the title does say it's an 83. It has 70k miles so far. I'm not really computer literate but I'll do my best to figure out how to change that. Thanks for the advise.

Thanks. I'll track him down. The seat is still comfortable even dried out and torn. I've been lurking in the tech area to learn about the carbs. She's pretty sluggish on acceleration but I'll get her figured out.

Right on! I've checked the classifieds and I'm already planning on the wire upgrade.. That's a clean job you did. I still can't figure the pic thing out

It's pretty ragged. I've had it less than a week. Just wanted something for trips. The Shadow is hard on my wife when we take long rides. If I can figure it out I'll post the picture. Thank you for the welcome. I am impressed with this site

I know you guys don't know me but I thought I would post something. Here in Boise it finally got above freezing so I carved a path thru the ice and out of the driveway and took my 83 Venture for an hour or so ride. I just picked it up and this is the first chance I've had to actually ride it..
