This morning I removed the radiator. It took some creative maneuvering, but the radiator cooperated in the end. There is a sort-of circular bracket attached to the radiator that floats between the rad and the fan, which comes off first. I had to rotate it around 180 degrees in order to get it free.

Then there are a total of three hoses to be disconnected. The one on the bottom is the most difficult because it is the least accessible and the biggest. Then there are three horizontal and three vertical bolts that hold the radiator into some cross-pieces that attach to the body. Then the piece just lifts out.

I will have the radiator checked-out, re-cored if necessary, and then clean it up and paint it if necessary.

I then removed the air-filter assembly from the carbs. Two "torpedo" bolts hold on the outer cover, then out comes the filter itself. The inner cover is mounted to the carbs with four bolts, two of them have these long heads which make them easier to remove.
