I am sure the information I am looking for is in this giant thread somewhere, but I just can't find it. I am in the process of tearing down my 1985 LT230s to rebuild the motor and have the frame stripped and powdercoated etc. thread can be found here: http://forums.atvconnection.com/suzu...ild-hello.html

Anyway, a problem I have run across is the view glass on the front master cylinder is broken/corroded to the point that I doubt it will hold fluid. I am sure I can rebuild the cylinder, but the glass is going to be a problem. Are there any options to repair it or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new one?

The length of this thread does make it difficult to sort through the information.

first off gents, have you heard of the Vault? the link is in the bottom left of my post. Most of the common knowledge is located there.

And yes you can rebuild the front master cylinder, but if the glass is screwed up just buy and new aftermarket one off ebay. they run about $50.

yep that's about right man.But me and the wife have been together 8 years and got a six year old son. Most common thing i hear is ," It's about time you married her",. Congrats to you as well too.

Yep, I checked out the Vault, good information there. I did not see any aftermarket master cylinders on Ebay, must be searching for the wrong thing.
