Rubber connector
Rubber connector joining the air filter housing to the carburetor intake, part number 70-5268.
This is the rubber connector listed under the battery carrier and air filter section of the parts book, part number 70-5268 (also shown as E5268 in the older catalog numbering). It's the flexible rubber piece that joins the air filter housing to the carburetor intake, sealing the connection so air only comes in where it's supposed to.

Being rubber, these harden and crack with age, and a split connector means an unmetered air leak right at the carb mouth, which throws off the mixture and can cause hard starting or a lean-running engine. If yours looks cracked, glazed, or has lost its shape, it's worth swapping out.
Our records show this one appearing in the 1966 catalog listings. Check the fit against your air filter and carb setup before ordering, since these connectors can vary by year and by which filter housing your bike carries.
