Hi all, new on this forum. My wife has a new (used) 2006 GZ and she loves it. I ride a VS800 and I love her GZ too.

Has anyone found a sight glass for the GZ master cylinder? Hers has rotted away to a crystalline mess. Has anyone ordered from the Newrivercyclesalvage site?

I read the posts above and couldn't get my mind wrapped around the glue or penny idea, so for now I have put a 5/16" round headed carriage bolt through the hole, round head out fitting into the groove nicely, with an o-ring under the head on the outside, a thick neoprene bushing around the shank to take up space, and a set of neoprene and steel washers under the bolt on the inside. It takes a fraction of the available space, so I don't suspect it should affect braking at all. It fits well, looks decent, and it so far is leak-proof. I have tested the bike thoroughly and there is no loss of pressure.

Any thoughts on this fix?

Still, I would like to get that 12 cent plastic sight glass lens if they are available...
