Hey Old-Schoolers!
I'm just getting to work on my (new to me) 98 S1W and the front brake is leaking fluid to the point that the line and reservoir is empty. I suspect it is the o-ring-thingy at the caliber that has gone bad, but don't know for sure.
It there a "typical" part that goes out on this one? What is the part number? Can I get it from a regular HD dealership?
I have a manual and a parts catalog on the way, but would love to fix this so i can ride it.
Thanks in advance!

O-ring thingy ? need more info.

Banjo fittings on the calipers/master cylinders use copper washers.
