    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

About a year ago I stripped my GS1100G and chromed a lot of parts, including engine side plates. Unfortunately this ruined my oil level sight glass. Does any one know a supplier of a replacement press fit oil sight glass - the only ones I have found so far ar miles too big (31.7mm).

My apologies for being away so long, but heqalth and money will get you all the time I suppose. Good to see you all going strong.
 
Col, I don't remember you from before, but welcome back :)

I'm sure if you put this query in the technical section smarter minds than mine will be able to give a great answer.

They never were available as a seperate part.Why would you chrome alloy anyway when you can just polish it????

You might have to take a larger one and turn it down until it fits. Another option is to find another cover and use the sight glass from it.

P.S. Never mind Dink...he lives on the bottom of the earth and all his blood has run to his head :wink: .

Maybe not in Australia, but they were available here in Canada. I did replace mine years ago. 8)

Many thanks to all for all the replies - very helpful and informative.

When you look as bad as I do, something on my bike has to look exceptionaly good. Also I don't have the time to waste polishing something which can remain wonderfully shiny with a little effort. Why forgoe riding time. This bike always turned heads, and I intend to ensure that it does it even better now. Don't forget that we can ride all year round down under.

Thanks for the links, I'll be in touch and let you know how I got on.

Mate this only took a day to achieve and only takes a few minutes a month to maintain.

BTW for those inquiring minds Kitty lives.
 
Thanks for all the help gury. I was able to get a sight glass from 10/tenths at Warwick Farm. Same part number as shown. Apparently they are a generic fit to many models including the GN 250.
The lense includes the glass, rubber typoe gasket and a metal rear backing - all in one piece. Will post a pic later as I'm about to go away for a week or so.

Dink - My better half (also the brains of the outfit) has pointed out to me that you do not live in Urana, Uridla, Uralba, Urunga or Euroa - My sincerest apologies I got my Geography all mixed up.
That said I still want to avoid poliching if possible - had too much of that in the army.
