If you are serious about going to a 6-speed then now seems to be a good time to make that change, rather than chasing parts around in circles, as you are at present.
You can check the model year of your bike on the H-D website, just go to the Owners tab and register your bike's VIN.

what you got is a 5 speed shovel set - very thin o ring for the front primary compared to the original - actually 3 different ones exist - the smaller hole main seal is also a shovel --
go to a local indy he will have in stock all the correct ones - bring what you have from the bike not what you bought to match up

Indy is a way better choice for matching parts.

Also, many aftermarket gasket sets can cover multiple years and models. There will be stuff left over that you can't use. Don't know if that is the case here, but it could be. When you go to the Indy, take the James set as trading material.

Dealer no help. I need help! I gotta find this seal so I can put this damn bike back together. The inner diameter is 2 1/4". The outer is the oem 89 size seal. I'm at work. I'll get the micrometer on it when I get home. What freaking seal do I need? This is ridiculous

Just find a large bearing distributor in your area and take the seal there...they will either have it, or can get it in a day.

You can identify the correct part number for every iddy diddy bit of your bike, by using any of the on-line parts websites! Are you using the correct H-D part number? Any dealer worthy of that name should be able to supply. Alternatively an auto parts store or bearing supplier may be able to supply, if you take the old seal with you, as these things are universal, not Harley-specific.
