Default Counter shaft seal

I can not, for the life of me, find the counter shaft or seal in any parts diagram. I'm used to looking at Harley diagrams and it seems like this should be easy. It doesn't show under crankcase, shifter, left rear cover, nothing. I've looked at every diagram, including some that would make no sense. I can't even find one that shows the front sprocket. Can someone either point me at the correct diagram or give me a part number for the seal? I've got a bit of a leak on the '88.

Thanks.

Turns out all I had to do was post here in order to suddenly find it. On the "Transmission" page, which makes perfect sense. 😁

I love that they even give you dimensions, which Harley never did. I have a list of Harley sizes that I've compiled over the years ($2 drain plug o-ring that is $.13 if you buy a bag of 100 from McMaster-Carr, really?) but they keep that stuff super secret.

Anyone know if I can just go buy a seal of the right dimensions and slap it in? I'm a mechanic so if it doesn't last as long as the original, no big deal, I'd just put another one in.

I’ve done it with several of the bearing seals on my 93 with no problems - as long as you have the od, id and thickness and buy a reputable make I see no reason not to.
