    Reservoir repair or replace?

    Well my front brake & clutch reservoirs are a bit past their prime, The windows have had it really; The clutch one has a crack which has been sealed the past 2 years with Araldite but it seems 2yrs is it's useful limit & it's starting to fail. I'd like to sort it before it does.
    So whats the best options here? are the windows replaceable or the space sealable?
    Is it easier/cheaper to replace the whole reservoir & if so is there anything special I need to look for?

    But alot of the reservoir's for sale (on the cheaper end anyways) are generic "universal" ones; They should fit a Brmmmm Brmmmm bike, after all they're just bolt on

    Well seems I should be calling it a master cylinder & the sight glass is replaceable; anyone have an idea of cost & where to source a replacement sight glass. I see mention of it being watch crystal?

    Carefully though, I installed my new master cylinder on the weekend, only to find the banjo bolt wouldn't fit ...&$@?... So the old one went back on with its siliconed viewing window

    If memory serves correct, your brrrrm brrrrm is of the VFR750 type yes?
    Contact econohonda about it. May as well rebuild the master cyls while you're there

    `tis indeed (tho the American 700 ver with an 'F' on the end). At the mo I've done another temp job & reinforced the araldite with RTV silicone which should give me enough time to find a proper fix
