If you bought a hill complete kit with the longer brake line, it comes with washers, and if you got their master cylinder, it has a different size than the Harley master (10mm vs 12 mm on my bike, yours might be different).

The Harley washers have a steel with rubber on them, the ones from Hill are just steel. I'm using the washers from Hill on the master cylinder, and the Harley ones (my originals) on caliper and not leaks, all is good. You may want to consider getting new Harley ones, though.
