The O-ring gasket creates a watertight seal between your turn signal lens and housing. It prevents moisture, dirt, and debris from entering the turn signal assembly, which protects the electrical contacts and internal components from corrosion and failure.
This gasket is compatible with all Harley-Davidson models from 1986 to 2023 that are equipped with large flat lens turn signals (3-1/4" diameter). Check your owner's manual or compare your turn signal lens size to confirm compatibility. The OEM reference number is 68451-68.
Replace the gasket whenever you remove or service your turn signal lens, or if you notice signs of drying, cracking, or moisture inside your turn signal housing. Under normal conditions, a properly installed gasket can last several years. However, it's a good practice to replace it during any major electrical service to ensure maximum weatherproofing.
This O-ring is made from durable elastomer material specifically formulated to resist UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and harsh weather conditions. This composition ensures long-lasting performance and maintains its sealing properties even in extreme conditions typical of motorcycle riding.
It's not recommended to reuse an old gasket, even if it appears intact. Over time, elastomer gaskets lose their flexibility and compression set, reducing their ability to create an effective seal. For reliable weatherproofing and to prevent costly water damage to your electrical system, always install a fresh gasket.
No, installation is straightforward. Simply remove your turn signal lens, clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, place the new O-ring gasket in the groove or seating area, and reassemble the lens. Make sure surfaces are clean and dry for optimal sealing. No special tools are required.
Without proper sealing, moisture can enter your turn signal housing and damage the bulb contacts, corrode the wiring, and cause electrical shorts. This can result in dim or non-functioning turn signals, which are both a safety hazard and an MOT failure. Proper gasket installation prevents these expensive problems.
This is an OEM-equivalent replacement gasket manufactured by James Gaskets to match the original specifications (reference 68451-68). While not made by Harley-Davidson directly, it meets the same quality standards and fits perfectly in your turn signal assembly.
