I need to order replacement bushings for these shocks. Does anyone have a part number or anything for these shocks? Also, Anybody know where i can order replacement screws for the brake fluid lids? I finally finished replacing the rear wheel, valve stem, and bearings on the rear wheel. I also did the final drive service. Someone had suggested my fluid was leaking from the top due to an overfill. I measured the fluid I took out and it was a good 100 cc over the 150 so i corrected this. Thanks again for all the help everyone.

Better yet, stainless Allen head screws.

I use these.  You will never need to replace.  They are a 2 piece set for both sides.

The problem with those master cylinder screws is that
they get all hosed up if you use a regular phillips on them.
The right kind of screwdriver (JIS) is in the tool kit. I have this
50yo lefty-loosey-righty-tighty ratcheting screwdriver, it has
a correct bit.



I've been using my lefty-loosey screwdriver on these
screws for 15 years:



I found these ones to be perfect replacements for the
rear master cylinder screws:

I didn’t have to by long screws and cut them down. ACE had the right threads and the right length and the bonus is they are Phillips
