Shiney Longstroke up for grabs
« on: 03.10. 2011 08:53 »
Is this beauty known to a forum member? I would be interested to know where the owner got the intake hose from.  http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BSA-A7-500-Twin-Rigid-Frame-/220867817104?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item336cbf6e90   Cheers TC

If you are refering to the rubber tube between the carb and the air filter, the A7 plunger items are available on EBAY UK about £6 or £7 I think these are the same as the rigid frame models.

No, longstroke aircleaner to carby rubbers are not the same as later A7 Mark2. Also A7 and A10 ones are different as well but you always see them listed on ebay being for A10 and A7.
You can get the longstrokes rubbers in the UK I would need to go through my emails to find the place that makes them.

Hi Tomcat here is the email of the UK place that makes carby to airfilter rubbers.
He makes all three types.  Mark 1 A7 longstroke, mark 2 A7 and A10 plunger.
He does take a little while to respond but he is reliable and the rubbers were good quality.
cheers Terry

Hi Mate. I have an A10 and finally found a connector for the carby / air cleaner. Then sent it to Clauss Studios, who have made copies of it. you can get one from them. The A10 and A7 rubbers are distinctly different. The A10 needs to top of the carby entry to be level with the Vokes air cleaner entry top. The A7 is about 1/2 inch lower.

their address is: any further emails send to
 ClaussStudios@aol.com this is our ebay address  thanks again
