Not a long post this morning, but I was just out in the garage doing some quick motorcycle maintenance and checks before riding in to work. I replaced two O-rings on my footpegs, which are stock H-D O-ring pegs, but I think they are actually passenger pegs.
Well, just to document this and if others need replacement O-rings, they are standard #17 ones you can get packages of at any home repair place like Home Depot (the other HD), Lowe's etc. I have gotten in the habit of keeping a box in the drawers on my workbench as they dry out and crack.
Hope that helps!

Parker Orings and seals are highly recommended when tight and leak-free sealing is a concern. These little seals are used in some of the most critical applications and they have gained immense reputation for providing an exceedingly secure fit.
Hmm, while a bit spammy, I think I'm leaving this comment up, both because I don't get very many and the fact they commented on a post where I'm using o-rings on footpegs kind of makes me chuckle! And I would bet Parker Orings are a bit too high quality and pricey for that application!
Its hard to find right type of O Rings for some applications. I suggest you try this website darcoid to get the right material. They handle lot of this stuff in parker o rings
OK, for a second time this post gets spammed by Parker O-rings. I won't delete the comment but just mention they are a commercial outfit and spammed a post that requires MAYBE 12 O-rings once every year or two! You're on your own if you want to do business with them-I'm not endorsing them in anyway.
