I just JB Weld a dime over the hole. Lasts forever.

this is cheaper than the dime..lol and the JB WELD STUFF... I just put the whole thing in the vise and push it in.... or leave it on and use C clamps..

I just searched for the item by item number on eBay and nothing came up. Do you have a link?

I ordered 8 a few weeks ago. 8 of them cost just a few cents more then 1 of them.

I was delivering a bike I sold in the back of my truck a few years ago ,I do not know how but the sight glass got busted ,must of been fairly close to their house as it still had fluid in it .Anyways the two guys buying the bike tore a strip out of me because there was oil all over the place and the bike was a piece of crap .The brake fluid had just run down the fork leg ,but in the end instead of laying a beating on them ,I just gave them their money back and kept my bike ,which I still have today .At the time I couldn't find the sight glass so I replaced the master ,so having a few glass buttons around will come in handy down the road I am sure .
