    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

I'm a little concerned with the brake fluid reservoir on my 78 GS1000 E. It is chalky and fry and looks very fragile. I'm not having much luck googling this part. Is it just a dealer order or does anyone have any hints on replacements?

By the way, this site rawks! I appreciate the help and information everyone offers. Thanks a bunch. I hope to have this bike going strong before the end of the summer and should thanks to the help of the GS Resources. Maybe someday I'll know enough to feel good about contributing...
 
Alphasports lists The resevoir itself as suzuki part # 59687-47021. Go back and check that to be sure. Ive screwed up before. 8-[

BTW, Id check with the stealer before I ordered from them or bikebandit. Often times once shipping is factored in its cheaper and/or faster just to get it locally. Might as well get the seals too, just to be on the safe side.
 
Mine crumbled like an old dome light when I was dinking around with my front brakes. The dealer had one on the shelf for ten bucks.
I bet they are the same part between our bikes, but I could be wrong.
 
If you want to spend the money you could always get a newer master off of ebay, something from a bike with twin disc brakes should work well.
