Pete -

Sorry, I thought somewhere in the FAQ it said that there isn't one. Nope, there's no drain plug on the factory radiator (brand is Blackstone I believe). Just pop the lower hose and drain away.

P.S. If your radiator is the original one, make sure to keep an eye on your temperature gauge while driving. Supposedly they're (the radiators) are due to catastrophically crack/fail at around our age. Mine's 13 years old (unless the PO replaced it before I got it in 1997) and is holding up well so far. I'm watching the gauge closely. :)
