CONFESSION : I feel like a complete idiot ... I just purchased an 83 Venture (first big tourer) after 23+ yrs of owning a number of previous motorcycles, yet I can't find the reserve switch/petcock !
2nd confession : I just got the bike back from the bike shop today, after getting the safety chck done, and the ownership changed. She's plated and on the road ! Rode it home & thoroughly enjoyed it. But by the time I got home tonight, it was dark and I had to give up after about 5 mins scouring the bike for the petcock in the overcast dusk. I could find it eventually, but I thought I would let the collective wisdom of those on this site be bestowed.
Help an idiot... I'll pay it forward. Thanks.
