Appreciate all the input...I have a new sight glass and the metal back must not be stainless steel because a magnet can "grab" it! I'm trying the magnet on a string next.

@ CycleRob....It's the metal backing that fell inside. I'm kinda liking just leaving it in. Would it float or just stay at the bottom... Not sure! I'm not too keen on taking the engine partially apart. I will but leaving it would be so easy to do.

Thanks Hank! I will try that this weekend and upon success...the "bone head" details will follow. I'm glad I was busy working and did not try what I was going to do.

Hello to all who read the following. Sight glass fell inside the engine. How I did such a bone head move is besides the point. Any suggestions of how to proceed to get it out? I have a tentative plan of action however...I don't want to make a bad situation worst! I have a 2002 R1150R. Thanks!
