On my 01 road king I have a very small leak from my transmission drain plug.
I've tried a new plug and a new o ring. I have these orange o rings, does it look like in the pic the o ring is in the right place after I tightened the plug?
I don't see that much o-ring sticking out when I tighten mine. Is the o-ring the same size as the original? And if it's not an OEM o-ring I'd try one of those along with a little thread take and torque the bolt to to spec.
pretty sure there's a little recessed area on the plug that the o-ring seats into (at base of threads), and agree with Dan^^ above I don't recall mine ever squishing outward like your pic.
I bought a big bag of o-rings off Ebay for the bike. Sure, can get at dealer (did that a time or few) but then went the bulk route.
