Will Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm trying to figure out a way to rig up a stock-looking air cleaner for my 710, which is tricky because the brake booster gets in the way. I am thinking about using a roadster air cleaner as a base to start a custom housing. Since the L-series SSS air cleaners are so rare and expensive, I don't want to cut one up. Is the distance between the carbs the same for the 1600 roadster engine and L-series engines? Here's a picture of the stock setup for dual carbs in a LHD 710 (160J) SSS: Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 when I had SSS SU's on my 620 it had the larger booster so I only had like 1.5in between it and the back carb. I drew up a design and had erichwaslike make it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment

I already have a back plate for a 1600 roadster with 2 SUs, so maybe I can use that as a starting point. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 R16 engine spacing is different from L16/L18/L20B spacing, to fit a different kind of linkage. Quote Link to comment
