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.

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:

Thank you everyone, just what I needed.

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
