The voltage regulator is also known as a rectifier in shop talk and is easily replaced. The recifier is held in place with two machine screws. Simply loosen and remove the screws, then disconnect the black plastic connector that connects the rectifier to the wiring harness. There is a black protective cover around the connector which needs to be pulled back a bit in order to unplug the connector. In case you have rectifier problems, such as overheating or the wires to and from it getting fried, resulting in a dead battery and starting problems, then you should check out if there is a short to earth somewhere or any wire connectors gone bad. Also check if there is a short in the stator wiring. Rectifer problems are common on older bikes because the wiring harness and the connectors get worn or shorted. Some people have simply done away with the connectors and soldered the wires together. This is especially true of some of the connectors found below the seat. I know of at least one case where such soldering of wires and elimination of connectors fixed a recurring rectifier problem.
The voltage regulator/rectifier is mounted on the battery case.
Defective voltage regulator.
Below the side cover on left side .Has cooling fins. ...
the voltage regulator is located in the voltage regulator compartment
The voltage on a 1984 Honda Shadow is 12 volt.

As far as I know this regulator can be used on several other 4 cylinder Honda motorcycles of similar engine size, from the late 70's models to the 90's models.
The voltage regulator for a 1991 Honda accord is mounted on the rear of the alternator. It is bolted on and can be replaced as a separate unit.
The main fusable link is located above the voltage regulator/rectifier. If the main fusable link blows remove the side cover and remove the Philips screws securing the fusable link and replace it.
Inside the alternator
In the alternater!
just follow the positive line coming from the battery. The first component it meets should be the voltage regulator.
