There are two versions of this bike with different coolant capacities, check your version. The Honda VT1100C is not the same as the Honda VT1100C2. For the VT1100C, the radiator and engine holds 0.53 US gal. The coolant reserve tank holds 0.103 US gal. The Honda VT1100C2 uses the following: Radiator and engine holds 2.1 U.S. quarts of coolant and the coolant reserve tank holds 0.41 U.S. quarts. For a total clean and flush of the cooling system of this bike you need 2.51 U.S. quarts. As for the anti-freeze, you can use a regular car anti-freeze. Use distilled water for the cooling system and mix it with the anti-freeze before you pour it in and after you have drained the system. The proportion of anti-freeze to water depends on the kind of frost you have to deal with. Most anti-freeze is intended to be mixed with water. In most cases, a 50% mix is ideal.
