My friend's CB750 (1970, professionally restored before purchase) always exhibited problems when refitting the right hand silencers following maintenance. Eventually, someone noticed that the rear footrest mounting bracket on that side was around 1/4" out of alignment. We suspect that at some time in its long life, it had been down on the right hand side. There was also a small crack in the frame where the welded bracket was attached, revealed only after paint was removed.

It was straightened and the crack welded, no troubles after that with fitting the pipes!
