I don't have to part numbers on hand but I can probably find them.
I actually went 2 routes:
1) I talked to a couple of HD dealers and 1 had replaced it with a seal from a different repair kit, I went that route through my local dealer but it was on back order, had to wait until it came in and they fixed it. Drove the rest of the summer (i'm in Canada) with no issues, approx 3000 miles.
2) I emailed the manufacturer in Italy that makes the front fork for HD. Unfortunately they have an agreement with HD where they couldn't sell directly to me but they did get me the part # for the seal and put me in touch with one of their re-sellers in Italy. The good news was that they supply Fast Bike Industries in North Caroline (http://www.fastbikeindustries.com/) and I ordered 4 spare seals from them that cost me $15USD each at the time. I don't have the part number here in front of me but I do have my invoice, they list the seal as (oil seal Marzocchi 43). From HD I had to buy the kit but they only use the seal.
I'll look for the part numbers and post them if I find them.

Im going to buy this and change it and see how it goes.
another idea i got was swapping the whole front for a breakout one, complete, 2015. Open to any ideas. I just wanna ride. Its been the only problem ive had with my bike, besides being the envy of the group lol.
a million thanks!
