They have cracks….. I have been all over looking for parts. The YD was only made a couple years and has some "unique" parts.

Hi- I recently purchased a 1962 YD3. Bike is in excellent or original condition… Had not been registered since 1968. I am needing to find the rubber intake manifold boot #146-13565-00 and rubber air filter jiont #146-14454-00. Both have turned to hard cracked plastic, verses the original soft rubber.
It is difficult to find parts for these bikes.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

Thanks VERY much for the info… And yes the front brake is 7"… and Yes the rear break is cable controlled. So it is a 1962 Star,, if I understand you correctly.
As far as the HC under the engine #'s, that is correct. The Bike is pulling over 155 lbs of compression in each cylinder, (Top end recently done from what I understand), so I don't know about the high compression
I do know 155 would be pretty much factory new spec's.
Indulge me on another ? if I may impose. This bike has deep wrap chrome front fender and rear chrome fender as well. Would those have been stock on a 62and the chrome/paint 4 gallon gas tank?
Thanks again. Most informative. When I get a new"old" bike I like to Learn as much as I can about it.

Hi- I am new to the forum, and am looking for insight into a BSA A50 I just picked up… I have owned other british bikes but this is my first BSA. It is titled as a 1964. Engine # is A.50.699
H.C.
This is exactly as the engine # appears, with the H.C. under the #'s
The frame # is A50.2059
My reading leads me to believe the bike is actually a 1963?? but not sure. This is my first ?
The bike was rallied at sale as a Royal Star. It is my understanding that the "Stars" were 1966 up. So It is a Star Twin??..
The bike has the stainless 4 gallon tank on it, as well as the metal headlight shroud with the ignition key on the left and the ameter on the right. Was the 63/64 A50 sold/offered with these items. From what i've seen these are A65 items?? Bike also has small/long tail light with plate bracket, verses standard lucas beehive.
Bike has '66 royal star side covers on it, but previous owner gave me one right hand cover he said came with bike… It is large and front mount is off carb mounting stud.
So basically I am hoping some folks can share there BSA knowledge with me, as to any of my ?'s
Thanks very much
