Yet again I was in the market for a highly specialized piece of photography gear...
Another specialized hunk of metal.
Shopping around the web - finding a speedlight speedring is easy. Finding images of one that could demonstrate room for a Radiopopper PX receiver was tough. So a couple of weeks ago I asked the Twitter community for their solutions for a speedring that would accommodate a speedlight with a Radiopopper PX receiver.
Beware - Geeky photo strobe gear images posted below :-)

Nikon SB900 with Radiopopper PX on Creative Light Speedring.
Thanks to all who answered my call. Especially @jeffzelevasky answering my query and even setting me up with the gear!
This Creative Light Speedring does the job. The threads are positioned perfectly for the PX receiver mount and the strobe head ends up safe and secure, right in the center of the speeding.
So there you have it. I'm off and running. Hope there's some other photogs out there that can benefit from this post!

Update - Another option - my next favorite setup to get a Radiopopper PX equipped speedlight shooting through a softbox is the this:

Nikon SB900 with Radiopopper PX on ePhoto Lbracket Speedlight Mount with Dyna speeding added (have to drill holes in the ePhoto gear to get the Dynalite ring on. Pretty easy)
Prefer the Creative Light ring's robust simplicity but this ePhoto Lbracket setup ain't bad. Especially if you have Dynalite speedrings in your inventory. Costs and weighs a bit less. Not the rock solid construction of the other unit. Worth considering though.
Best of luck out there!
