Just bought '73 site unseen

Thanks for the update, will be back on the road soon!

I bought a NOS tx750 flasher relay as I basically tried putting in every other modern flasher relay possible and only 1 at least passed current repeatedly but it was essentially fluttering.



Bought on EBAY, came with original part card and baggy and everything!



Also replaced the spring washers and seals for the petcocks as they were leaking, fixed that right up.



I think I need to get another front brake hardline coming off the caliper as it seems too short to function with the original fender. My guess is someone replaced it with the fender off (i received bike without fender on). So in the meantime I ran line on outside of fork.



Had my 1 piece oil filter adapter made that uses BMW oil filter (i used FRAM CH6060):



The problem is that the orings that came with the CH6060 filter are too big for that inner o-ring slot.  I bought the new outer O-ring as that is still made for this bike, but the inner rubber one I thought would come with the filters.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know

I am quickly beginning to see that only 1 or 2 people frequent this site every couple weeks so hope to get a response sometime before riding season here.

Thanks

Is the inner/smaller groove a standard size so a hardware store or auto parts store should have an O-ring that will fit? Just be careful if you use the original bolt to hold it on as it won't engage much of the threads in the case. I found out the hard way that tightening will fracture the case around the threads.

I scribbled where the gaskets should be.

My gaskets that came with my CH6060 from fram are not the same size as the smaller one.
I have no idea if they're standard, I imagine they are not, I used the drawing off of toby folwick which was all metric.

I need a solution for the smaller one.  I checked with the WIX one and those are the same gaskets I got with mine which are not right:

Any help would be appreciated,
