Hey all. Recently I took to trying to remove my oil level sight glass. A word of warning... The later "wiper" type windows shatter easily. The trick to removing them in one piece is loads of heat to soften the rubber seal.
However... Obviously Honda no longer has these available. In my search for a replacement I have found the perfect item... BMW! The sight glass for most of their machines will fit. I measured the Honda glass that I removed =40mm.
I sent a message off to the site I had seen advertised and they have confirmed what I think will do the job at their measurement of 40.2mm.
Check your local beemer dealer for the part. The link I've is merely for parts reference...

[I'm also thinking that the oil sight glass from a Suzuki Dl1000 or 650 may also fit and be of a cheaper pricing. I have yet to confirm the sizing from a Suzuki dealer.
I spotted this at a mates place and his brother was there with his DL 650 Vstrom.
 
Went into bmw and picked up the part... It's near on perfect...
