Try to find it New Old Stock. The dealers can look it up across their networks. Last I recall, there were 2 dealer networks, so if you find a dealer in each network, you would search the whole country.
We had a discussion some time ago. I made some suggestions on fabricating your own from a few dollars worth of parts. Some google-fu should turn up the thread.

I think there is an aftermarket one.
Do a search with the HD part # was how I found one for a later model tho.

Opps that 98 looks a bit different as well
I'll try for tho

Just to throw stuff at a wall
Could an extension be machined to screw into the head and the other end made to accept a 32446-99.
Not sure of the room to do this. Have only seen one of these motors in real life.

Found a standard motor TS-432, fits 2000-2005 lincoln ls, wonder if this might work. Looks close to sensor I pulled out. About 1/2 price at auto parts store

Might be a long shot on the connector end.
That sensor would need to be pretty close in the resistances it can measure.
Not sure how to make the comparison between the 2 Ummmmm
Most parts places hardly accept returns on things like this. Is worth 50 bucks to find out?

I've searched high and low for a replacement head temp sensor. Quite a ways back someone mentioned that the temp sensor was the same as the one on some Italian bike. I've scoured several Italian bike parts places looking for one and have so far come up empty. The one shown from SMC is close but I'm betting it might not work. It's a coolant temp sensor.

Thought someone has to make them for harley but probable not worth $50 to find out, unless last resort. Found 32446-95a at a dealer in PA. Will probable go that way. Thanks for the replys.
