Weird leak
I have an '03 883R and just had the front brakes replaced. Today, I found oil or some kind of fluid??? under the on/off switch and the right turn signal.I don't think there is and fluid there. Checked the master cylinder and it seems fine. Any suggestions??

RE: Weird leak
Pinched gasket?
Maybe it was a little fluid 'left over' from when they filled the cylinder.
I'd just tighten down the bolts and keep an eye on it to see if the seepage or leak continues.
Worse case would be to just install a new gasket.. Not a big deal.

RE: Weird leak
If the wheel is turned to the right when thefront master cylinder is compressed brake fluid will leak out onto the switch housing. This is usually then followed by some interesting language from the person doing the brake job. [:@]
