Default Blackwing lid hose help

I recently purchased a blackwing lid. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a intake boot for it? Thanks

Go try again; last I looked they were selling all the
bits and pieces ala carte. They may be hard to pick
out by search, slog on. New Era Performance was
also an outlet but I haven't noticed them around
lately. Failing that, eBay?

SLPonline no longer lists them. There have been a few people looking for that oval-to-round boot for a few months now. Dude on Firehawk site starting looking months ago & I don't know if he ever found one.

No longer made, or sold anywhere, that I know of.
Maybe you can get lucky & find one on Ebay sometime. But be aware, if I see it too, it'll cost big time to beat me!

Rapid City, eh, ..., What do you do up in that neighborhood? (Edit: SSgt/E-5, figured it out. )
I cruise that area every few months. Outside sales rep & that's also my territory.
I ride around the hills for a week in August, & put more miles on my bike than all year around here.

Yeah i have looked on every site i can think of and haven't found anything. I bought a Blackwing lid on ebay and didn't pay attention that it didn't have a intake hose with it. I found one person with one for $60 shipped is that a good price?
Yeah I go and cruise around the hills some but not on a bike. I wish I could afford another toy.

You might check with Baker Precision. They sell a variety
of molded silicone hoses, at least in round-to-round, and
might have round-to-oval (or maybe just squashing the
right diameter of round, would not suck too badly). Looks
like the largest they do is 4" round, if that comes up short
(measure your lid) maybe they would do a custom - from
the looks of things, maybe a group buy?

Thanks. Its tempting but $85 seems like a lot for that. Is that a good price for one?

It's a good price if you can't find one someplace else.

The $20 that SLP was asking for them 6 months ago was even better. That was when the last one THEY had sold!
