I finally got around to installing the new radiator today.  It’s a bit of a different look being plain aluminum instead of painted black.

Took it out for a ride after getting the coolant system bled as the sun was out and an overall nice day.  That didn’t last long though as one of those awesome sudden southern thunderstorms decided to drop the bottom out of the sky in a torrential thunderstorm.  So by the time I made it back home, eeeeeeverything was completely soaked through.  My gloves and jacket sleeves were so full of water that it actually just poured out of them when I moved my arms taking everything off.  No telling how long it’s going to take to get all this dried out again.  On the upside, I found out that my SGS5 really is water resistant.
