The 66x Air Cleaner


People ask me what the story is behind my 66x air cleaner.
here it is.

When I was building my knuckle for the Horse Smoke Out Build off in '06 (Damn!) I wanted something clean and small that would work well with a Linkert carb, since I was running two of them. The Linkert is my all time favorite carb, they are beautiful all stock and beautiful polished or even chromed. I needed something small that wouldn't overpower it, but that would work.

The 66x was born, I cast my first two prototypes and these are the ones that were on my knuckle initially.
One I got the filter elements figured out (Big thanx to 9-Half and Tom at UNI!) I wanted to add just a little bit more. A few years prior, my good friend Erik Maaske (May he RIP) had drawn me some artwork that I use to this day, and I decided to rework the flags he drew for me into castable form for the air cleaner.

Thats pretty much how it happened. I am still making them to this day as well as a few new versions I will be sellin soon. I sell most of them for S&S E/G and CV carbs but I like the way they look best on a Linkert!

Oh yeah the 66x part is the number I ran when i raced in Ventura in '05.
Huge thanx to everyone who is running one and everyone who has one ordered!

Does anyone

who looks at my blog ride a trials bike? Like one of the new crazy ones like Julien Dupont rides?
very curious...



AND!!!

santa fe deli saturday! be there at noon!

its a good idea that this is saturday coz Jose picked up my last wooden airplane with rocket engines glued to it and the rubber band is broken. So it would be a bad saturday to have "fly the rocket assisted balsa wood airplane day"
So come on down and get a meatball or something, drive, run, walk, ride.
Nelson said its ok to rided a fixed gear bicycle, you can, but i'm 92% sure that 9-half will laugh at you.

I can't be the only one who

has a thing for Olivia Munn?

Got Surf?

The Harley Davidson Confederate Edition

So, in 1977 Harley Davidson decided to do one commemorative edition after the Liberty Editons of '76.
It is now one of the rarest harleys from the AMF era, if not the rarest. Only 23 are known to exist today, amid rumors of Harley buying them and pulling the decals and changing the paint to "Save face" they are barely known of today.
Except for every person who has the 1941 to 84 Harley parts book, where there is a drawing of the tank decal with a part number. (61651-77 and 61650-77, respectively for the tank decals)
I have only heard of them and never seen one. I have never seen an ad for one, even tho my parts guru claims that they were regional, I dont know of nayone who has actually seen one.
This is one of the pix for the ad campaign that Harley did for em, not sure if anyone has EVER seen this pic! Coz as far as I know it was never in print...
They made 44 FLH Electra Glides, 228 Super Glides, 299 XLH Sportsters, 45 XLCH Sportsters and 15 XLT Sportsters, In one batch only and that was it.


Feel free to read more about em here!
