CB550F Exhaust Gasket
« on: June 17, 2016, 05:31:05 PM »
The downpipes on my F are pretty good and I had designs on getting the old silencer repaired or modifying another to suit.
DS ore OOS of the gasket (packing) that goes between the two. It is a simple tube, but does any body know what material it is or I should use.
PN 18391-390-405
Thanks
Phil

I have 4 exhaust gaskets for in the head lying around with white stuff. Is that asbestos or fake as well and shouldn't I worry?
