Picked up a clear clutch cover from pashnit a while back for a great price. Couldn't pass it up
It's been nothing but trouble since I got it.
Alignment was off just a hair had to install it without one of the guides.
Sight glass doesn't seal by itself. Needs silicon after you cut it out of the old cover. Sure enough the sucker leaked. It wasnt bad, so I didn't fix it
Glass windows started lacking out of no where. Opened it up, cleaned it, resealed all of it. A OK-for a little while.
Recently glass has been leaking, stress fractures at the screw holes. I'm in there doing chain sprockets plugs deep cleaning the frame. I figure lets call the company and see what kind of silicone they are using to best seal this thing.
The guy says "it's what"
Me "the glass is leaking"
The guy "email me your name address phone number bike info to me, and I'm sending you new redesigned glass with improved o-rings"
Me O_O "really just like that"
Guy "yup"
2 days later this shows up.
Awesome!
First impressions: the glass is thicker. The original glass had the ris logo etched on the lower glass, not the case with these. Not a deal breaker but it does look nice. Haven't compared the o-ring yet. But we will see this weekend.
Question: (i was so distracted by getting free glass that I forgot to ask again)
What silicone should I be using?
The application of it has to be pretty accurate since the sight glass it recessed in pretty deep(sausage fingers can hardly make it in there.) Also the lip the glass seals against isn't that wide. Accuracy is going to be key!
