Author Message   Triman023 Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 01:52 am:        Got my new replacement needle after waiting for two weeks. I ordered the part from Parts Unlimited, they ordered it from Edelbrock, not super fast. I also ordered a new backing plate for the air cleaner. The original part as you know is a hand made fiberglass plate that tends to crack and warp. It's a bit funky looking. The replacement (part # P0214.8A) is a very clean looking molded plastic part. Looks like it came off of a new bike. If you are trying to repair the old plate, forget it and get this one. I had to drill carb mounting holes into it, probably because my bike is from California. Once drilled it fit perfectly. Bike runs like a champ again. Hopefully, the needle will stay in one piece. I have to say, it is a pleasure to see HD making redesigned parts for the old S2. Plus it was $30, I call that reasonable.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 09:34 am:        Do you have a part number for the backing plate? Might have to get a spare for my daily ride, "just in case"   Triman023 Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 12:55 pm:        Part# P0214.8A $30.25   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 01:25 pm:        Cool, thanks   Nitsebes Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 05:01 pm:        Ratb I have an extra stock Backplate if you want it.   Bluesboy Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 07:29 pm:        Nitsebes,was-up with the metal backing plate?Any buyers for my Q-silver carb,works great but the idel block is F*ckUped.LMK, B.B.   Nitsebes Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 07:52 pm:        Blues, that's an aftermarket billet aluminum backplate.I put them on my last bikes.The setup includes a slightly larger K&N filter.Cool factor is the incorporated venturi.   S2tbolt Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 01:22 pm:        Ordered a new backing plate Part# P0214.8A Thanks Triman023
