I need the part no.for the o ring gasket that seals the primary cover to the clutch cable. I cannot see it in the parts catalog. Does anyone know it. |

I think it's part of the cable, you'll need to measure it and get a universal piece from the hardware store... |

The O ring is not listed in my ’07 parts manual. I replaced mine with one listed for a Sportster, part number 11179 (0.1” thick, 0.5” OD, 0.3” ID). |

Or, just put thread sealant on the threads. I use Permatex High Temp thread sealant. (rated for oil) DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE CABLE FERRULE IT WILL BREAK! Screw it in until it bottoms and give about 1/32 of a turn to finish. Between the thread sealer and the fact that the cable is crimped to the ferrule, it will not unscrew itself. |

The early ones can weep a little on the 06 bike but if it is just that I would not worry. I think they changed them for a new version of the cable and they are fine. |

I remember reading here on BadWeb not to over torque that baby so I made sure I followed that sage advice when I replaced my cable last year. I just reused the o-ring from the broken cable. No problems. That cable was around 60 bucks as I recall. |

Just realize that many times oil will leak past the area where the threaded piece is crimped on the cable sheath so no amount of sealant or new o-rings on the threads will help. |

The cable to ferrule crimp does weep on most bikes. Cleaning that area with brake cleaner. Then adding a drop or 2 of super glue will slow or fix that weep. Or Clean and repeat as needed. |

Now if you fix the leak you take away some of the character of the bike. |
