Thanks Rubyred,
I tried those two and unfortunately they are out of stock ...
Now, I found someone who has a part # 18815-88 that tells me it should be pretty much the same to what I need but I'm not sure & haven't been able to find much info about it neither.
If anyone here knows something about that I'll appreciate the input

Did you check here?

I just searched their site and they are only showing the one for 57 to 85 but I'll call them tomorrow to ask specifically for the one I need.
Thank so much

Well, I spent a great deal of time trying to find that Tappet guide in the net with no luck
The couple sites that show the part they don't actually have it..
Any thoughts from anyone here? How about the 18815-88 part... Would that do the trick?
I'll appreciate any input ...thanks everyone.

I know I have thrown some sites at you already but here is another one. I'll keep looking also.

As far as using the 86 versus the 88, I would think that they are close to each other but I would do a visual inspection to look for any differences.

Just for the heck it I went back to the HD site and input your bike and their site gave me a different # for the tappet guides. Take a look or am I looking for the wrong item?

One more thing, I would talk to a different dealer about your part, just my opinion.

I found this one
TAPPET GUIDE, FRONT, INTAKE, X, 18617-86, TAPPET GUIDE, FRONT, INTAKE, X

I also found a place in UK but it was a wee bit more expensive and the shipping etc would be bad

Thanks Brian,
Yes, I tried that one but its out of stock...
I ordered the 88# part to check it out and got into an agreement that I can return it if it doesn't fit.
Crossing my fingers here

Here is the one listed in uk although it says not available if you click the aftermarket link it gives you the price but does not reference the part number so a wee bit worried on that one
18617-86 - TAPPET GUIDE, FRONT, INTAKE, X
