They are stil available from kawasaki or z-power. They simply knock out. The new one will push in but put a bit of sealant around it first (Three bond).

Would help to know what master cylinder we are talking about. Kawasaki alone had different sized ones for various brake master cylinders,
and is it clutch or brake m/c as no Z1 had a clutch master cylinder as standard. Picture?

I have just measured the one of the type I used to fit into my rectangular brake m/c on the 650 and it is 25.10mm. Actually not available as a spare part for the m/c, but is the oil sight glass in the clutch cover.
Yours is much smaller, sorry I can't help. Crofty

I sent my brake and clutch master cylinders off to a bloke in the US who refurbished them including putting new sight glasses in them, first class job. They were off the GPZ900 but that should not matter. I'll dig out the info if you like?
