for some reason there is a major issue with finding the radiator area... I am new to owing this bike and type of cooling system... Not only can I not get to the radiator cap but I have no clue on checking the level when I cannot see much of the system... anyone have some awesome pics for me or at least a clue... thanks

 

You sure it is not the VN 750? I am not finding the 500 listed in any of my parts fiches.

 

found out it was just 4 screws to get to the overflow... yea... had to remove the plastic covering.. Would still love to know how to change the fluid... saw where some of them have to have a major issue to get to the drain.. anyone have a clue about that on this model...?
