This forum is to be used by folks who sell parts or services for GS series motorcycles regularly, or as a business.
If you are interested in providing parts and/or service to GSResource members it is expected that you will 1) keep customers informed on the status of their order, 2) you will reply to customer emails and PM's in a timely manner, 3) you provide what is agreed to in a timely manner. If personal circumstances prevent you from doing this, then you are expected to inform the customer before any transaction takes place. Failure to follow these basic business rules will force me to ban your forum account and list you in the Deadbeat forum.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Don’t know about US. I bought one on eBay for $.99. It was perfect. It did come from somewhere in Asia, and that was pre-COVID so YMMV.

Find a small piece of Lexan (yes, it's plastic), cut it to the approximate size, file or sand it round, then epoxy it into the opening. Let the epoxy set for a day, then use the master cylinder as normal. Not knowing how far away the Lexan might be, your repair (not counting the epoxy curing time) might be anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours. Certainly quicker than September.

thank you I also considered just closing the hole with some epoxy, it isnt that much trouble to take the lid off a couple of times a summer to check, if it is leaking, you woul see it, if its not leaking it shoulnt go own too fast
