2 1/2" no hub coupling from Home Depot is the perfect size. Its about $3 and comes with hose clamps. You'll have to grind some rivets to get the clamps off the metal sleeve, throw the sleeve in the I might need that someday pile, cut the rubber to lenghth turn it inside out mount it, then ride it like the rear ends on fire. That's what I did for my XXX BAK.

FYI, Cruiser Customizing does the sales for Barons only, LA Choppers bought Barons and makes the parts and handles warranty and tech info. I thought it was BS when they told me to email about my front pulley, the rep emailed me back in less than a half hour. After a couple of emails I asked if he could call me and he did within 15min. See my post about the Barons front pulley update.

While you are at the parts store buy a vacuum cap for the crankcase vent nipple on the back and route your crank vent down the spine to the ground. I put a filter mounted to the rear horn mount and attached the hose there. No more black goo coming from the crank case to the air filter
