Hmm possibly, but I think the one I need is #24, form the looks of it. I just am not convinced it's the right size.
did you not order a #24 last time?  ::)

Well, i can only say that many here only trust OEM Honda parts, and if #24 was the one i needed, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
did you compare the honda part number of the one you bought, with the one listed on the fiche?
you need to be sure of the model/year of your bike, and buy parts for it based on Honda part numbers.

So I looked it up and this is the one I ordered from Bike Bandit, which appears to be bigger than the one on CMS? OIL SEAL 13.8X24X 729774. I think I'm doing something wrong. This one is too small already. The inner diameter is a perfect fit, but the outer diameter is too small and I had to use copper gasket to install it and make it seat. Advice?

Call me stupid, because I'm being very stupid right now (I swear I'm not normally this slow), but what are the units of measure (mm)? and which measurement is each number referring to? I must be doing something wrong here.

Measured in mm, as this is a metric bike

               ID x OD x Height(thickness)

Bike bandit  13.5 x 24 x ?

HONDA   12.5 x 25 x 8

The one you ordered from bike bandit is too big in the middle, and too small in total diameter, and doesnt even list a thickness.

Order HONDA only.  Use CMSNL link i sent you above to find the correct part numbers to order from.
Do it right or do it over ;)

Fair enough. I'd like to trust CMSNL and that diagram. It clearly says the exact make and model and year of my bike, but in the past I've come across misinformation. But if you guys all swear by it, then I can't say no. Thanks for the help doods! I'll let you know how it fits once it comes in, I'll be doing a deep carb tune and some other work this weekend.

I just use any dealer's micrfiche for the part number then google it. Partzilla has been good at the right parts as well as other online stores. Even EBAY if its in the original packaging.
