Thumbs down @%$@%$ %@%

Just in from an exciting day testing a potential new set of wheels- anyway

Seems like my 93 Cane is sloooowly losing clutch fluid - suspected clutch
slave seal wear and in taking off the Clutch Master Reservoir Cap - don't
ya know it one of those little POS philips screws stripped out #$@ing F!@# !

Drill time - got it out - topped up with fluid - used some stainless replacement
machine screws, have seal kit on order for a slave cylinder rebuild !

Those resevoir cap screws really suck and are as soft as hell

Thanks Steve for your kind offer to help - but yeah he only indicates UK shipping

A little further research got me a listing of options on EBay

There was Guy on the above list who had these for $5.45

M4x12mm Stainless Steel Flat Head Screws Hex (20) SHIP FREE

Mine now tho' , going to have 3 spare sets if anyone wants
a set (4) for a buck + the price of a stamp

Well it was a good Monday - got some luggage fitted to the 93

Waiting on a replacement Admore Mini LED Light Bar - One that shipped had
cracked lens - decided not to use Givi Signal Lights - not my cup of tea

send me one, ill put it right in the middle.

i got excessively bored of the flat black with red accents. decided to do something entertaining and....loud? i also wanted to do exhaust work, retrofit the headlight, make an integrated turn signal tail light, and move the rear plate to the unused mount on the left side of the bike.

but then it got warm outside and now i just want to change the oil and ride! winter flew by and im lazy.
