Does anyone out there have a spare venturi ring they would sell me? I'm trying to buy one at the dealer but have been told they're obsolete.

You need to find a good parts person that can find one for a sportster.

I'm sure they are still available from the dealer. Probably just a different part number.

I may have one, I'll get back to you in the morning after I've had a chance to check.

Depending on what kind of intake you've got this might be of interest:

Actually, I have an amazing parts person with easily 30 years experience working at one of Canada's oldest Harley dealers. Rarely does he ever need to open a parts book. If he says that there are none, I believe him. This is a dealer who believes that you can't sell it if it's not in stock. They even maintain a supply of parts for the old Aermacchi Harleys. I have complete faith in him.

Thanks! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Not sure if that's an alternative. I'm just trying to do the stock airbox mod shown in the X1 Files site.

Got a venturi ring for you, we're talking about the plastic $1.95 part, right?

I've got one of those tall air stacks from A.S.B. and it fits inside my stock airbox, tight - but it fits, when the weather turns I'll probably put the stock airbox back on so I can ride in foul weather.

Sorry for the wait. PM me your address and I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow.

Sooo... the wife dropped it off Saturday morning and got it on it's way. Global priority or some such thing, funny though, they quoted her 8-10 days. I'm hoping they get it to you a lot quicker than that and maybe she was throwing out a generic number for international shipping.

I think your parts guy is mistaken. I think he may need to open the book again, lol.

From the Buell Pro Series Air Cleaner parts list found here:
http://clbres.servhome.org/dl_buell/91420-99Y.pdf

You will find part number 29179-88

And on a pretty up to date HD dealers online store, you can buy them for $0.76.
http://www.lshd1.com/servlet/Detail?no=430786

So I'm pretty sure they are still in stock.

They still are. That site is just 20% off all the time.
