This is looking like the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Still looking. One year only and only built in Fremont parts are definitely hard to find.

Hi,

Maybe post a picture of it

How close is it in design to a 300 CA breather tube?  As have one of those somewhere.

Regards,
Jim

Are either of these what you are looking for? I don't have them, but found a couple of pics of two different 65 GS Fremont cars having different breather to air cleaner hose connections. Don't know if one is right and one isn't. Maybe the difference between a chrome air cleaner vs. a stock air cleaner?

My stock black air cleaner has the hose like in the bottom picture. Mine is a 66 but I believe they are the same.

Hi

Didn't 66 require a Air pump, hence might be the reason for 2 different styles

Regards,
Jim

Correct, 66 CA emissions is the A.I.R. pump. The rubber breather hoses are 65 only.
I've seen the 2 different 65 breather hoses and have no idea why there are 2 or what came on what.

Mine is like the bottom picture. Short hose to the Air Cleaner Body, not the Snorkel. Thanks, Jim.

The attached pic is from the 65 GS Service Manual. Looks like that manual muddies up the water a little

Still looking. If anyone going to the the Nationals finds either of these items, I will definitely make it worth your while to purchase and ship to me. Had planned to go, but family commitments take priority. Thanks, Jim

Jim,
   Thanks, the Top Left Hose in your photo might work. If you could get ID/OD both ends and post here, I would be able to determine if it will work. At your leisure, of course. Thanks, another Jim.
