My FXR don't have the sight-glass in the oil bag. But, the one on the front master-cylinder weeps a bit...

I gotta think its pretty normal. As long as it only weeping and not leaking really bad. How fast is it losin' oil? Can you live with it dumping that much oil over a period of time? Is it worth the hassle of fixing a weep? Those are questions ya gotta ask yourself...

Common on the sight glass, if it is a weep not a leak.

Fixing a leak is a bigger deal, and it would be easier to switch to an oil tank without the sight glass.
