Our catalog record only carries this part across the 1969-1970 span, and the entry itself is brief. There's no detail here on the specific model it was fitted to beyond the manufacturer note, so if you're trying to match this to a particular machine, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
Air cleaners like this one are simple parts functionally - they keep dirt and debris out of the carb throat - but different frame and sidecover setups used different housings and mounts, so it pays to check yours against what you're replacing.
