Title: Master cylinder sight glasses.
Post by: Dragonstaff on September 27, 2022, 08:04:06 PM
This was posted to FB group I am a member of, and I thought the time will come when someone here might need these.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever needed to replace one?  And if so, why?
Some funny pricing on that eBay site:  2 for $8.58 apparently competing with two other sellers with the same product (differently formatted photos) charging $3.87 or $4.66 for a dozen.   Wot thuh

Haven’t had occasion to replace one but have seen plastic sight glasses which were yellowed and cracked with age making it unable to see the fluid level .

I have replaced two on a 1200 Goldwing because they had gone brittle with age. I used 18mm watch glasses and Araldite. It worked quite well, but the proper gear would be better.

I suspect that we won't actually need to do this for a while on our bikes, although early 1100's that have lived in the Aussie sun all their lives might be getting close.
