Oh great...I've already gotten in trouble for using the wife's turkey baster to fill the battery in my Shovelhead, and using her best cake pan to drain the oil on my Evo.

Now I gotta worry about using her douche nozzle to top off the heads.
I can't win.

In all seriousness I'd use distilled water with the antifreeze.

That said, what's going to differentiate the MoCo from the metrics now? I'm not saying this wasn't inevitable, but what will H-D now have to stand alone with?

Should I get the radiator powder coated or chromed?

This is A "green" machine. The E.P.A. Has authorized body fluids to be carried in the antifreeze tank.
