Default Just bought a 1984 Shadow 700

Hello new to the forums and this is only my second motorcycle. Its a 1984 Honda Shadow VT700 19k miles newer paint, tires, and aftermarket pipes. The guy i got it from lived in Concord, NE and he had it since 1997. Been sitting for 3 years said he got too old to ride it. He left gas in it for those 3 years so i went and bought carb kits and a new battery. Still gotta get new plugs and oil for it and acid to clean the tank. It turned over when i bought it. Almost forgot while it was sitting in his garage for 3 years all 4 turn signals stems were broken. So definatly in the market for some. I only have one pic for now but will post more later. Any help is appreciated.

ebay sells turnsignal stems for $15 ea. but you can replace the whole turnsignal for $6 for 2 if you dont mind using a non-stock light.
