  • Float level gauge

    This looks a bit pricey but I was wondering if it would fit our bikes? 6mm threaded end.....

    I actually made one of those from a brass fitting and a piece of clear tubing.

      I think at that price, I'll do the same myself! What sort of fitting did you use?

        Drill out the internals of a grease zerk that has the correct threads and you have the same thing for just a few cents.

          8mm x 1.0mm 91-97 Ford Escort brake bleeder screw will work, no drilling necessary. Wrap some Teflon tape around the threads to seal it.
