Good luck checking your brake and clutch fluid level......

Great to see someone spending some serious time on a rebuild. Amazes me to see where they started and how they finish up.

Welcome aboard.

both the brake and clutch fluid have a 5mm wide strip down the sides so you can see the fluid level ...
so checking will be no problems :P

and as for the color the misus wants it :( if it were up to me it would be green and orange ROFL :P
