Yes, I would call the photos hammertone silver... like I remember mine in 1971.
It was also peeling off just like Allan's. My re-sprays back in the day looked pretty much
like that but also peeled like original in just a few years (or less).
I see concours TIgers with a MUCH more pronounced hammer from modern paint and they
just are not right.
Sears! I got my NOS exhaust system from Sears in 1975, still on my car!
So that air cleaner is from 1977. Seems like an improved one piece version of the original
three piece filter.
I happen to know where there is a small stash of I think identical
filters, brand new. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK THOSE ARE WORTH?
