I would love to know how to replace the site glass as both the clutch and brake master needs new glass on my 85 700. it almost looks like it is cracked all over and you can't see through it. this is something that I have never done but i am very handy with a wrench. I found this site for mineral glass http://www.ofrei.com/page_176.html if you have a better one please let me know. thank you Brian
