First of all, I would suggest that you think back to the last time that you had it running. Did you do anything to the bike that might have caused an open short; changed a bulb and pinched a wire, removed and replaced the seat and pinched a wire, or maybe loosened and adjusted any electrical attached component on the fender, handlebars, etc.? If so, check those out. Pay extra attention to any components that you have added on.

Secondly, you have a several switches... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Guns90) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61677 Thu, 08 May 2008 10:23:30 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61650/t/wont-start-need-help.html#reply-61650
When the key is switched on, there should be some drop in the battery voltage, but it should not go to zero.
That leads me to think there is a dead short somewhere which will lead to smoke if you leave the power on long enough. Time to pull the saddle and look around to see what's happening. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (dukey33) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61650 Wed, 07 May 2008 21:19:59 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61633/t/wont-start-need-help.html#reply-61633 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (biginch) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61633 Wed, 07 May 2008 16:37:30 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61626/t/wont-start-need-help.html#reply-61626
If you're not getting any power anywhere and the main fuse is good (btw, check it with your meter), I'd look for a bad connection on the battery cables either at the battery or at the other ends.
Verify your new battery is not dead either. Most m/c batteries have to be filled and charged before being put into service. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (dukey33) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61626 Wed, 07 May 2008 14:03:07 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61606/t/wont-start-need-help.html#reply-61606 feeds@yuku.com (mktobob) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61606 Wed, 07 May 2008 11:09:39 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/topic/8754/t/wont-start-need-help.html i am new to site and have a 98 and am having real problems this spring getting my shadow going.
