    Contact the guy at this site: --> https://v4dreams.com/products.html
    He states if you send him measurements of your site glasses he can accomodate you.
    I have no personal experience with him, just passing along info I've saved.

    I have seen sites claiming the same thing. I appreciate the help, and will keep it in mind for sure.

    Sight glasses are easily accessible, are you sure you just can't clean the glass from the inside?

    I'm always amazed at how often Brake and Clutch fluid replacement is neglected, even by workshops. Its probably the most important routine maintenance item to be done. Fluid replacemnt and flush/bleed every 2 years MAX.

    I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but a little cautious when it comes to brakes/clutch on a motorcycle. Probably should just go for it and start tearing in. So much to do. :)
