Brake reservoir sight glass replacement source

[Guest]

So surfing around looking for a replacement sight glass for my rear brake reservoir, I stumbled across this website:

http://www.esslinger.com/roundmineralglasscrystalx200mmthick.aspx

If you need something other than 2 mm thick, there are many many choices available. Prices seem reasonable too.

Just thought this might be useful info....

See this thread on the Madura forum. You might not need to replace it.

I have repaired a couple of them using Lexan window plastic from Lowes. I don't remember if I used the 1/16" or the 1/8" thickness, it's just whatever I had on hand.

I cut it to approximate size, then used a belt sander and file to make it round and to the proper size. Pry out the old window, clean the area around it immaculately. After test-fitting the new window, put a bead of epoxy around the edge of the window opening, lay the new window in place, put some more epoxy around the edge to seal it. I think the first one I did was on the 650, so it would have been about 8 years ago.
