Looking in my manual for the cheap plastic valve stem support that falls off. Yea, mine is now gone too. Does anybody have the part number and/or a good source to get a replacement.

thye will just order the part from the same place, and then charge you more for it!
Next time you change your tires, do what I did and replace those stock valve stems with metal 90 degree bolt in stems. Then you won't need those keepers anymore. Makes it so much easier to check your air pressure and add air if needed. Becomes a one handed operation, where you really need two hands with the stock valve stems.

As a friend of mine from our Valkyrie forum says, "Friends don't let friends ride with plastic keeper valve stems". Those things have been the cause of several accidents among folks I know from coming off and allowing the valve stem to move around at speed due to centrifugal force and cause a rapid tire deflation event. As Jimmy pointed out the bolt in ones also make it much easier to check your tire pressure.
I strongly suggest changing them out on your next tire change.

I expect the stems to last less than a year. I should be in need of tires by the end of this season, and I only got the bike in November.

It is possible to change out the stems w/o dismounting the tire but you do have to break the bead...
