Broken Oil Level Window?
If the sight windows in your clutch and brake master cylinders start leaking and oozing brake fluid everywhere, take the assemblies off and carefully punch out the windows from the inside w/ a drift... turn some aluminum/brass scrap into plugs to fit (or have a buddy do it for you). Mine were 18 mm; I pressed in the plugs w/ the vice and some loc-tite. Those of you w/ metric drill rod could just use that, I guess. I made mine .001 oversize: no leaks and that was $$$ saved. Plus the flat-black on the tank lasts longer that way... (Editors note: you can also use a coin of appropriate size!)
