I use the Danco #5 O-ring for the primary which is small on my 06 softail an the Danco #41 O-ring for the motor oil an trans oil. I get them from Lowe's.

I just wanted to update that I had to drain the primary over the weekend... I notice just a little drop of oil forming from the drain plug after 30 min or so of riding and thought that I just picked up a bunch of oil for sale cheap for the primary so I would go ahead and just drain it and reaplce the O-Ring. I reaplaced it with a Viton 010 and no leaks. I put over 250 miles on the bike over the weekend and all is good. So anyone that wants to replace their o-rings without buying from the dealer you can use 010's on bike with the smaller drain plug like my 05 RK.
