Stock BSA Gold Star is a magnificently beautiful example.
Some have screens to keep larger objects from entering the carb bore.
And screens are sometimes separately available as add-ons for otherwise screen-less stacks.
But of course the screens don't serve as replacement for an air "filter."
Hence, best to avoid sand storms -- even dust storms -- when riding with stacks. :lol:
And the truth is that seemingly clean clear air, even after a rain, will undoubtedly contain invisible minute particles that are harmful to engine internals when ingested.
Good Fortune!

But maybe someone out in the world is looking for 3 velocity stacks to mount on the back of 3 - 40mm backs of carbs.
They will look good on my collectible wall too. Ya want a picture? I will finish restoring them! Not many people cut the stainless steel screw clamp down to fit neatly, then polish them knowing they are Stainless Steel. Then cut round mesh screen to put in the back with the
wintergreen oil - (methyl salicylate) softened rubber trim grommets. But, that's just me!
Sorry for any confusion.

The Gold Stars weren't touted as long distance touring models. :woohoo:

He would wrap the bell flair with a couple layers of his girl friend's nylon stockings and rubber bands and call it good!!

A little -- maybe a lot -- off subject, but have used and know of others using a stocking over the end of the clothes dryer vent pipe where the dryer vents to the interior (as opposed to the outside). The stocking traps most of the lint, but this method creates a lot of humidity in the room, which is a bad idea in a garage where dampness is a no-no (eg., motorcycle parked in the garage).
Good Fortune!
