If your talkin about the O-ring on the drain plug you can just inspect it, if its still nice and round, clean it reoil it and reuse it. If its torn or ragged replace it. If you oil an o-ring before installing it they tend not to get torn up as fast and will last several uses.

Spending 32 bucks to possibly save 8 doesn't compute..LOL...In my experience, the primary cover gasket is good for more than one use.

Cash grab
Having worked as a tech for HD for some years and having performed countless oil changes I can officially state it's in your motorcycle's best interests to change the oil ring every time it's accessed. Having said that, unofficially, it's strictly a cash grab as it's reusable until it shows visible signs of deterioration. HD has and will continue to charge it's customers as much as the market will bear. It's just a fact of life.

i change the o ring each time. i figure if i didn't catch a crack or tear, i'd end up having a drip until i replaced it. fifty bucks worth of oil being jeopardized for the cost of an o-ring? to me, that's a no brainer. i always cut the old one so it cannot be re used, although i have stashed a few of the ones which look to be in pristine condition, just in case.
