The wind finally stopped whistling down the plain long enough to get around the patch a few times this evening. The air was smooth as glass and just the thing after a day of being Grandpa.Good news, replumbing the primer line seems to have fixed the rich running I found on the trip down to Ponca City for the monthly breakfast bash two weeks ago. And the fluorescent dye in the coolant helped me find the leak at last.
Bad news, the coolant leak is in the radiator core. I guess I'll find out if they recore motorcycle radiators (thank God, it's pre plastic tanks) or if I have to have one custom made.
If I have to go the custom route, anybody know of a shop that's good and inexpensive? Inexpensive being relative, like under $300?

What kind of M/C radiator are you using? I have used several different sorts of M/C radiators with good success, and they can usually be found in M/C junkyards for under $75.

Richard, I used a radiator from a Honda Sabre 750. $20 bucks plus shipping off eBay and $35 to have the inlet and outlet changed to accommodate the sizes needed for the 582. If I'd known how easy it was to get reducers from Sport Hoses I could have eliminated the rework.
