I'd need to remove the oil siteglass window from an old clutch cover and install it in a much nicer one. Any tips/suggestions on how to remove the old one?

I used a screw driver with a pirce of rubber at the end. I pushed on the back of the glass and tapped it out a little. It came right out easier than I thought. Be carefull not to crack the glass though. It can be cracked easily. Good luck

I used a matching diameter socket, along with a BFH :laugh: (not that big), and it came right out. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get it clean enough for my satisfaction.
So it looks like I'll be ordering one from Jeff, along with some other goodies.
Thanks for the tips, guys.

No, I didn't know that Randy. Thanks for the tip.B) Besides, the only m/c I have for this thing is the original one that was on the bike for the ten-plus years it sat outside. It is NOT a pretty sight!:ohmy:
Besides, I just placed an order with Z1 Enterprises.
