If you look closely they are there but look like carbon and probably as hard as concrete

You’re right I didn’t look closely enough. I have managed to get them out so can fit new ones. Thanks.

That’s what I’m thinking to.

CB750 / K7 exhaust gaskets.
« on: October 29, 2018, 10:00:13 AM »
I think I know the answer to this, but just in case I’m going to ask anyway.
I took the exhaust off, one side, so I could refit the centre stand. I thought it might be difficult to remove but the nuts came undone very easily. There is no copper gasket/ oring fitted. The exhaust fitted is an aftermarket 2 - 1. I’m not sure of the make.
So my question is should I fit copper gaskets when I refit the exhaust?

Welcome aboard :)

Seems to be the rule that US imports are better on the outside. I guess they don't decay the same as UK bikes.

Originally from Wisconsin I think. Not sure what the weather is like there. They always look better in the pictures.

Wisconsin gets pretty cold and in the States (and Canada) they have a riding season imposed on them and bike stays locked away for 5 months+. And many bikes were bought as "toys". Unlike the UK where most bikes got used year round and were the only form of transport.
Welcome Phil, from Phil

Thanks Phil.

Welcome Phil,
Looks in fair enough condition. Still some riding to be had. Is it registered?
CB750 50th anniversary event at David Silvers on 29th September. Though bit of a distance from Bristol  :-\
Peter

Just got it registered..maybe a few local rides first to check it’s OK.

Hi everyone,
I bought a Honda CB750 K7 in April, that had been imported from the USA, to ride during the summer. It wasn’t quite as good as I was led to believe so have only just about got it ready to go now.
