Does anyone know a part number and auto parts store for the 14 mm freeze plugs used on the heads?  We are having a really hard time finding them in the wilds of Oklahoma.
TIA.

Mine came out of the O'Rielly store here.

Improvise, cut the pipe off, leaving an 1" or 2, and fill it with JB Weld.

They are a little snug, use a small socket on a short extension to tap them in.  Don't use a socket that just fits, use one a little small, as the top lip will fold over a little and the socket won't come out.  I put 2 part expoxy on top of them to fill the holes.  On the bottom, I put a piece of exhaust gasket material between the head and the old part and also filled the tube end with epoxy.

They all have some.  Non CA bikes- desmog to remove a bunch of vac lines that get old and leak and cause problems.

NOT for a performance gain, like most think of a desmog.

As far as I know all models have the pair valve system to introduce air into the exhaust in order to meet emissions standards.  Ca. models have an extra cannister of some sort in addition to the pair valve system.

Tried to buy this one via overnight shipping but they are closed for the week.
We found them at NAPA.
UPDATE! UPDATE!
We got the De-Smog finished up and got rid of all the leaking vacuum lines and extra parts.  Dropped the bowls and did an ultrasonic cleaning on the jets.   We found the freez plugs at NAPA (Part number 3812163).
We also got new O-Rings for the intake runners from NAPA as well (Part number 7272620).
Should have the three on the right bank finished up early tomorrow before the temperature hits the low triple digits and go for a ride!  cooldude
