Air cooled guy here,
Might want to stay off those scary gravel roads with that radiator behind that half fendered front tire.
If it gets a hole in it, how long before it starts smoking like a 1972 Vega?
Asking for JCSR.
I don't do too much on gravel... not because I am worried about the radiator, but more so because I hate paint chips unless it is on a truck.
I've had the "grill" off a couple of times since I found it. Once when I was buying it. Again a while later when I was doing an oil change. As "open" as the grill looks, it actually works well. Not a even so much as a bent fin.
Another feature, and I know this may seem strange for you..... it maintains a steady oil level and pressure over thousands of miles.
