Air Cleaner
« on: August 27, 2018, 06:30:12 AM »
I am looking for a complete 4 bbl air cleaner for our 65 GS.  Does not have to be a 10 but straight.

Just to be sure you are looking for the correct air cleaner.  Are you using an original '65 AFB carburetor ? I ask because the new Edelbrock  and the Rochester have a different size diameter air horn then the original AFB.

  I may have an original for the AFB around. Would have to take a look to be sure though.

Joe, I can?t find mine. It looks like sjfd04 deleted his post. Since I can?t find my other one I was going to sell you one off my car and replace it with his chrome one. Not sure what?s going on now, he was going to send me pictures?? Maybe Bill has one for you.

I finally got up in the crawl space where some of the parts are stored.

I have this one available .  There appear to be some dents in one area that someone started to remove. Hard to see in  the second picture. I don't have the lid for it.
Let me know if you are interested,

 Spoken for, sale pending.

I did find a lid, so we could have it covered! I just cannot find my base and I just had it when I shipped the other one to Jeff.
