Distance tube (4 in. O.A.)
A 4 in. overall length distance tube for the oil tank mounting, listed in the 1965 parts book as 82-6308 (formerly F6308).
This is a distance tube used in the oil tank mounting on the machine, listed in the parts book at 4 in. overall length. It's a simple spacer that sits between the tank and its mounting point, keeping everything at the correct spacing when the mounting bolt is drawn up tight. The catalog shows this one appearing in 1965 records under the oil tank figure, and it carries the older F6308 reference as well, which is the legacy form of the same part number.

It's a small, unglamorous piece, but if it's missing or crushed you can end up with a tank that sits wrong or a mount that isn't properly supported. Worth checking the length against what's actually on the bike before you order, since oil tank mounting setups vary by year and we only have the one catalog listing to go on for this number.
If you're rebuilding the oil tank mounts on a 1965 machine, it's a good idea to pull the old tube and measure it against this one before assuming it's a straight swap.
