Oil header tank leaking again!

I removed the sleeves and oil pipe and took them to work. We have a fancy ultrasonic cleaner that works really well. New washers and O'rings figure with everything spotless clean should have no issues when the time comes.

This is what I did to the oring cut it in half.
 
Possibility it was a wrong composition for this use, they are made for specific purposes,(water, oil, air, etc.) Was this a Triumph part?

😳 No just out of one of my mates 5 boxes of O-rings that was about the right size.

Ended up at a seals specialists cost me $15.45 for 3 before I asked for my companies discount. Ended up paying $10.85 for the high temperature oil ones.
 
Well took the beast out for a ride last night with out the baffles up the motorway/ highway back down past @Tal work yard and past a cop who was already given some lucky person a ticket. Because the look he gave me as I went past wasn't very friendly.

Then to a store to get some degreaser.

Stopped at mates house for 5 minutes came out to a pool of oil under the bike.

Will pull part again later on today.

Tied time lucky I hope.

Bike sounded really good but the laws here about loud bikes is not good repacked baffles and will install this afternoon.
