Bates Throttle Conversion Kit for Linkert

Those who are only familiar with slide carburetors such as Mikuni or Dell'Orto will have a new experience with a Linkert on Harley models such as Knucklehead, Panhead, or Flathead: The throttle lever is not pulled, but pushed with a rigid wire. Modern custom throttle grips, on the other hand, work by pulling.
The Bates Throttle Conversion Kit makes it possible to combine pull-type throttle cables with Linkert carburetors. It relocates the pivot point so that the throttle cable is at the optimum angle. The throttle valve then closes automatically by means of a spring.
The kit fits all Linkert M-series carburetors with lever types from 1949–1965 (OEM 27260-49 or WW 65-265). Some adjustment may be necessary for accessory intake manifolds and clamps. Barnett throttle cables are recommended because of their excellent running characteristics.

Bean Pot Float Bowls for Linkert Carburetors

These reproductions are complete assemblies with nitrophyl float, bowl cap, lever, bushings & pin, metal tipped needle and seat.

Bomb-Sight Venturis

The name “bomb-sight” derives from the air force because these venturi channels resemble the device that was used by the bombardier to aim at targets. As original parts they were reserved for MR racing and M-53 K model carburetors but advantages like higher intake velocity and better charge which help on the track make sense for street bikes, too. The venturis achieve, besides the named improvements, a very racy look.
