New (to me) bike. Need some help.

[Boris]

I know this isn't exactly a dirt bike but I figured someone here would know.

Picked up a 96 Honda Shadow VT1100C (I want to be a Harley) that has been sitting for over 2 years. Yep, there's varnish in the tank.
Need to clean the fuel system but want to do some research first so I don't screw things. Anyone know a good source for info ?

A forum or some diagrams of the carbs would be great.

get a service manual. while you are at it get about 48633284836293 spark plugs for it because if you dont run the piss outta it it will foul them in no time flat. keep an eye on the fan because they like to quit working. other than that...just ride the damn thing.

check out www.bikebandit.com or www.ronayers.com for online microfiche.

The day I posted this thread was the last time I was able to get onto the site.
Since then I have flushed and cleaned the entire fuel system. Low speed jets were totally plugged up.
She runs like a champ now except for the goofy handle bars.

Thanks for the links Wolf, I'll check them both out.
