Harley Drain Plug O-Rings
Harley Drain Plug O-Rings Anyone enjoy going into the stealership and paying $2.00 for a 2.5˘ o-ring? 
qty 100=$2.59 + 5.00 S/H total=$7.59
(even taking into account the shipping charge 7.6˘ is still way cheaper than $2.00 ea. and you have a hundred of them)
Dudes,
They can be purchased on line by any one of a hundred manufacturers or vendors. (Just google O-Ring)
Dash# -013
OD = .562 (14.27mm)
ID = .426 (10.79mm)
THK = .070 (1.83mm)
Durometer = 70
Material = Buna-N 70 Duro (AKA Nitrile Rubber)
You would think they would throw them in after charging 15.00/qt + for oil

The dealers I have been to always give them to me if I ask. I still have a bunch in the tool box I bought at lowes. 10 for less than the price the dealer sells them for. I imagine if you just walk in and ask for just the o ring, you will pay, if you buy atleast a quart of Formula+, all I buy, you will be good to ask for one. Never a hesitation from the parts guy to just tape it to the bottle for me.

NAPA for so many things instead of the stealership.
About 1/100th the price. And a guy behind the counter that is willing to help or offer advice.
..course I re-use 'em at least 2-3-4 times anyways...without leaks. Just don't tighten the **** out of it and you can get a few reuses out of it.

Sorry, old news here. Been buying from a local bearing supply outlet for30+ years. I buy 20 at a time and pay a nickel apiece for them. If they aren't heat-hardened or torn they can be re-used several times.
Also, NEVER apply pipe dope to any HD drain plugs (for obvious reasons).

Bought 20 for $2.25, free shipping on Ebay last year. Proper material and size.

Thanks for the feedback but I'm not surprised, here in NJ they would charge for the air you breathe if they could. I'm glad to find there were resources other than the dealer because the kits I found didn't have the correct size and after you use them up the remainder are mostly useless. Actually I found them for .01 ea. but the s/h charges bring the price up a little.
