I bought my '67 in..... February I think, and it cost me a total of $1,700. It has factory ac in it, but a combination of factors led together for a grenaded compressor. Driving home one day the clutch bearing froze up( heck, it could have been frozen before and this was the trip that killed the compressor). I limped her home since I had to take off the alternator belt(s). When I got to work the that Monday I freed it up and now you can hear the awful knocking coming from the compressor just spinning away.
advise part: When I replace the compressor,clutch, and receiver drier is there anything else that will need attention? As far as I can see there is no visible leakage on any of the ac lines other than a little residue on the r/d. I tried just driving with the windows down, but the heat and humidity is just downright unpleasant right now and I don't fit many passengers on my bike. also does anyone have recommendations on where to get these pieces? I priced a few local shops and one has the compressor w/ clutch for $270ish, then O'riely has all separate fora little under $300. anywhere else may be nice. Thank you if you read through all this and have some input!:grin:
