I found a pic I believe from this thread:

[QUOTE=4-pac;1334586]5 mile test ride I noticed the shifter shaft seal trying to pop itself out of the primary cover, back to the garage. Clean all the oil off the seal and cover, still can’t get it to stay. Off to the auto part place for a tube of contact cement and an o-ring (5/8 OD x ½” ID x 1/8” thick) to put some extra pressure on the seal from the outside. The extra o-ring is next to the shifter peg.

Thanks SportsterPaul & HippySmack for the directions...

I updated the SP with info on the '04-vs-'06 Shifter Shafts (with pics) and added the tip about using an o-ring to tighten up the oil seal. I also included the tip about putting tape over the shifter shaft splines to protect the new oil seal when installed...
