Not too sure if you have a photo of this type of Air Cleaner. I have only seen one once, on this bike. Don't know if they were Post War or not? Anybody know?

Regards - Jon

Hi Jon,

I have a few war time Norton 16H photos that appear to have this model air filter. These photos not not that clear but they seems pretty similar.

I have seen an M20 with such an air filter before and it could very well be this very BSA during Founders Day a few years ago.

I think they were for an early Indian contract of 16H's. I prefer that to the tank mounted Volkes.

Here's an example of another variation made for the Australian Army - first time I have seen one on a bike.

The bike is up on eBay at the moment - 261270496455 (don't know the owner - perhaps someone who visits the forum?)



These were locally made later in the war - this blueprint is dated 4-7-44.

hi - first post .

i am the new owner of this bike.



just have to collect it from mid NSW.(Australia) - probably in a few weeks.

as i am in melbourne -so a 800 mile drive each way.

the frame numbers indcate it a late 1942 bike.

and puts it in the middle of the frame numbers for the other 1942 australian (owned) bikes on this site-.

This one isnt on the list


interesting that you have the blue prints for the aircleaner.

when i get it, i'll put up some more photos -of bike and aircleaner.


saw a similiar aircleaner on a WDM20 - at Maldon (vic)at the ABR this year .

(may have even been this bike) - will have to check my photo files.

Nice looking bike, any chance of a close up of the brass plate on the toolbox please?
