Reply to "Are these Kadron Solex carbs? And filters missing??"

Option one above looks to be your best option. Measure across the bottom plate on your carburetor and see what the inside measurement is. Contact the parts supplier and see what the measurement on the air filter is to determine if they will fit.

Initially my Knecht air filters came with a bit of foam that fit on the inside of the wire mesh. After my second drive the foam was shedding small bits of foam and it clogged the idle jet. I threw away the foam and bought some 3 1/2" round air filters and put them inside the air cleaner where the foam had been. Haven't had a problem since.

As others have said, I'd drill a hole in the top of the filter housing and reroute the hose to the top of the housing.

Here's the thread where I installed the K&Ns: https://www.speedsterowners.co...9#590585063454865599
