Trying to put an 84 honda shadow 500 together. No idea where to find a diagram or way to hook up the tail light. i have a few wires and tested them for always hot, only hot when ignition is on and a neutral. still have about 4 wires coming from the bike that are just sitting there. just trying to figure out how to attach the tail, front brake and rear brake wires together..
I can't answer your question but I reckon if you find and look at any Honda wiring diagram around that year it could provide some clues - the wiring colours are likely to be the same...
SOURCE: How do you take of the seat on the bike?
There are two bolts in the back of the seat it looks like you must first remove the sissy bar from the back of the bike. I just bought a 84 Shadow VT-500 and there was no sissy bar when I purchased so u could see the two screw's right above the rear light. Once the screws are out the seat comes of very easily.

Based on the information you have provided I suspect a bent shift fork in your transmission. To fix it you will have to take the transmission cover off and get at that fork. Replacing the fork is probably easiest, the labor to get to it is the expensive part.
SOURCE: the bike runs fine then it just quits running
There may be some water condensate accumulated in the gas tank. Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ). Install an in-line fuel filter. Drain the carbs
The problem could also be electrical. If the gas thing doesn't fix the problem then check the side stand kill switch (if there is one) on your bike. It kills the engine so that you don’t start out with the side stand down. If broken or out of adjustment, it could kill the spark at random times. Check for a broken or loose wire at the side stand switch and coupler. Try moving the kill switch by hand. If that doesn’t work then wire a jumper around the switch to bypass it. Check the fuses. Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter.
A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!
