Bates Throttle Conversion Kit for Linkert
Bates Throttle Conversion Kit for Linkert
A custom part with a long tradition. This smart little device allows for the use of pull type throttle assemblies with Linkert carbs. After installation the throttle disc will be pulled to open and the spring closes it again, when you release the throttle grip. Each kit comes with two springs to meet individual requirements. The weaker spring (Fn≈23 N) should be sufficient for most outside cable applications, the stronger spring (Fn≈58 N) is recommended for internal or very long throttle cables. Works with all M-series Linkert carbs, when equipped with a 1949-1965 type lever, i.e. OEM# 27260-49.

Bates Stock Aircleaner Eliminator Kit
Bates Stock Aircleaner Eliminator Kit
The installation of a a CV carburetor with Custom air cleaner on a Panhead, Shovelhead or Ironhead Sportster involves two problems:
the protruding upper carb end interferes with the commonly flat backing plates of accessory air cleaners, omission of the stock CV air cleaner results in an unsupported carburetor,
This smart kit inludes a 3 mm spacer plate, which resolves the first problem and a flange adapter with two spiral springs to connect spacer and plate and thus safely hold the carburetor in its rubber flange = resolution of the second problem.
Will fit all motors with 2-bolt Tillotson, Bendix or Keihin (butterfly) manifolds. Installation also requires a 2-bolt flange adapter and a carburetor support bracket, which both need to be purchased separately.
