Bummer ! Whip down to your local bike shop and get a universal kit and steal the inner out if it and solder your ends ti the new inner.

Does this bikes shake rattle and roll like a Harley Motor ?

My Ironhead was shocking for rattling everything to bits

Ah so 1st ride withe new break resivor breaks feel great stoked. After about 50kms i start to notice theres random droplets on my bars and tank. No shit...

Sight glass on resivor is leaking wtf actually is going on hahah. Omfg the comfusion sargar continues once again. So after replacing one resivor for another for the other to leak in the exact spot as the last is alittle bit of a total pain in my fart box. But on the plus note. Breaks feel 1000% better. And for short term some gasket marker over the leak should get me thru until i sorce a new glass ah this bike always gives me somthing to do sad face
