Take your sample O Rings to a bearing shop and ask for Viton O Rings....... they should be a common size but you never know

Be carefull putting that plug back in. if it was not one of the drain plugsit was a npt plug and had thread locker on it. Pay attention to the torque specifications so you do not crack the sump pan.

Take a drinking straw...like for a milkshake...and insert it in the grill of the fan on your laptop and blow...do every little bit good and hard...it gets the dust outa the fan...good to hear but you might and I say might have had better luck getting her to shift and settle in if you loosen the third bolt which goes to the head. but hey its nothing to take the throttle bodies up and off hang them from the handle bar throttle cables still hooked up and pull the tank.
Glad its working out as I just got my computer back up and running for how long? who knows I think its time to upgrade or work on finding a new fan motor I can try to install. You would think these buggers would last more then 12 years

Hi Tel.
Thanks for popping over yesterday good to meet you.
Not yet but got all the oil out of the bike.
Mechanic must have bloody good eye sight as found the missing Bolt in about 2 seconds but no luck with the right size oring.
Turns out that the oil pipe might have been modified by last owner as has a very deep groove.
Going to take the oil tank to work and see if they have the correct size oring or head to the seal shop and get correct one.

Ok this might not matter as you stated yours might have been modified.
Anyway back in the early years of the Rocket there was actually two oil tanks in which you ordered by engine number. Anyway then along came the update kit. which had components for the oil tank and fittings
There were two update kits one for the silver engine and one for the black. But I think the only difference was the color of the out put shaft cover. You might want to inquire so you can tell you bought the right parts for the tank. Meaning if you have the old components are you getting the right O-rings ?
