    Pictured is the master cylinder reservoir cap from a 2013 SR50.
    The other looks the same. What would you do to clean those up ?
    Another forum says just replace the whole assembly they are cheep enough. I don't want to change them out because I want to keep it as original as possible and the brakes on this scooter are just awesome and I don't want to lose that.

    I've done a combo of ultrasonic and vibratory tumbler cleaning / polishing on resi caps before with good results.

    Did you leave them naked or did you coat them with something ?

    Nekid, one was real ugly so I wire brushed the last of the paint off first, ended up coming out of the tumbler near polished.
