Is this gonna fit, or do I have to get some rubber o-rings?

If you are talking about the chaincase oil...

Did you read the manual?
Some bikes have aluminum crush washers on the drain plug. My Kawasaki has one; the Sportster does not use a washer. It uses an o-ring that fits in a grove around the bolt. A new o-ring from HD is $0.99
  1. Don't forget the Teflon paste.
  2. Don't forget to clean the magnet of your gear teeth
  3. Don't forget the torque wrench
