2022-08-19 Thread Peter Mavros
Hey guys, I'm new to this group and currently restoring a 1985 650cc. The next item on my list is the view lens on my master cylinder. Does anyone know if it is a 15mm or 188mm fit? I can't find a solid answer online. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group
