Motorcycle Repair: Honda Goldwing, honda aspencade, radiator info

Question
Hi Bill,
I am hoping you are familiar with the 1983 Honda Aspencade.  A friend flushed my radiator last weekend but left the radiator cap loose.  How do I get to it, to tighten.  Do I need to remove parts, if so which ones and how.
Hope you can help,
Thanks,
Gene M.

Well, I know what they are but haven't worked on one. Checked at the

Doesn't look like anything special for the cap, but probably access to it is restricted due to the bodywork.
I don't know if you can access it from the top fuel tank cover or if you will have to pull some bodywork around the radiator to get access to the cap.

I take it that you can't get ahold of your buddy.. here's some various links to radiator info, but nothing has been found to indicate great difficulty in replacing the cap.

Like any other radiator cap, you have to push down, then twist it on.
