ZN1300 Front Master Cylinder Cap

Post by Van Voyager »

A PO of my ZN1300 glued a square chrome cover over the front Master Cylinder cap blocking access to the cover screws. Presumably the the chrome piece was installed to hide a nasty looking cap, in any case when I peel that piece off, it's going to take any cover paint with it. The picture below shows what the cover is supposed to look like (all damage aside)- black with gold lettering - can someone tell me if that gold lettering is engraved or silk screened?

From here it doesn't look to be silk screened.
This one on Ebay looks to be in good shape for $48.

Just updating this...

I pulled the chrome cover off - wasn't that difficult - it was probably 'glued' on with silicone as I was able to scrape off the left over residue with my fingernail. All is all, cap doesn't look too bad with minor flaking paint near the edges - presumably from brake fluid contact.
