Default ? About coolant level at actual radiator cap.

I have checked my coolant at the lower left canister, and it is right on the full mark. Today I took my tank off to install my new Bully FI Processor, and decided to take a look in the radiator at the actual radiator cap.

I can see no fluid. I see an inner ledge about 1" or 2" below the opening but no coolant. Is this normal, or should I add coolant, even though it says it is full at the lower left side check point?

Also, I have Aluma Cool fluid from my dirt bikes, and am wondering if a 50/50 mix of that would be OK to add to this radiator, and do you add fluid at the lower point, or at the radiator cap?

I will also check my manual on this last one.

Thanks in advance for any guidance here.
