Front tire valve stem O-ring size?

I have a 2013 R1200RT Anniversary Edition so it's a Camhead. It's 10 years old and I'm due tires so I ordered a set of Michelin Road 6 front and rear. I also ordered a 90 degree rear valve stem from Wunderlich. I want to replace the O-ring in the front wheel as it's 10 years old. This is the valve that's a BMW part number. Try as I might I couldn't find the O-ring size anywhere (including the BMW Dealer)so I ordered a whole new valve from MAX BMW. Anybody know? My plan when the new valve comes in is to head to NAPA and use their O-ring sizer to find out for BOTH front and rear. It was a 30$ investment but I'll know for sure. I probably don't need to, but for peace of mind I had to. I live in Texas about equal-distance between DFW and OKC where the dealers are. I use the KTM dealer to M/B tires. I take the wheels and tires in and 60$ later the deed is done. I miss my tire machine...lol...downsized when I retired.
I should wear out this set and put a new set on before I head to Redmond in June. Thanks ya'll
