These were my
first manufactured products. In 1967, it was uncool to
run an air filter. The old brass Linkert was the carb
of the era. It was a common problem to have your pant
leg sucked into the open venturi, which promptly killed the
engine.
The Bird Deflector eliminated the problem, so the became a must
on thousands of the day’s choppers. I advertised them,
saying “they keep nesting birds, hand grenades, and pant legs out
of your Linkert carb.”
Today, you can still buy them, unchanged from the sixties, for
$35.00 plus $4.00 S&H. Polished aluminum, with
screws.
