Title: Muffler connect rubber insert - alternative?
Post by: Erny on March 31, 2021, 09:08:29 PM
Just found that inserts in rubber connecting muffler ends on CB500/550K are broken into pieces. Rubbers are still good.
Honda sells it as kits (rubber+insert) - did anyone find good alternative to OEM inserts?

Looks to me kind of plastic or asbestos ring?

Maybe thick gasket material would do the job?

Any advice welcome

Done, 0.8mm gasket material made it

I can't get my after market pipes to line up  well enough to get that rubber on properly. 😳

Originals are just as awkward

Steris, Sohron's description has helped me a lot. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=82323.msg925422#msg925422new My set is OEM though.
