Put a new exhaust on to replace my rotted one. Removed the header and such but cannot get the "flanges" back in to save my life. The crush gaskets are still in there. Is there anything else I can use? Really dislike these things... Thanks!

Thanks for the tip man! I've been driving myself crazy. I will try and not shove the half moon things into the head lol

So you're saying put the header in first then the half moon on top? They don't go in the head at all? I've been trying to shove them in the head in the very small space that is around the header. This is the only bike exhaust that I've done like this so I'm not surprised I'm confused looking...

All good! Yeah idk what the deal is. I'm surprised there isn't an alternative for them.

They do not go in at all the other way around. Is there something else I could use? Gasket maker or cut out a gasket? I have the crush washers still in there. There has to be another way besides these. I'm not sure if they are original, if they go to this header etc.

I'm going by the diagram...no?

So skinny side sticking out?

If I'm not replacing the crush washers do I need them? They are just not cooperating

Reading your post again I do have the "star" things on the pipe and always have. I try to put the "half moon" pieces in the head then put the star over them to bolt them in but they just won't go back on. It is frustrating me as this is the last thing before I can ride the bike again

That's a great tip! I def will have my buddy help. The whole "balance it on my foot while holding it with one hand and bolt it in with the other" is not fun

Not being a smart a** at all! I literally have been trying to shove them in then bolt the clamp on top... WOOOOW I feel silly haha Oh well, live and learn! I'll try again tomorrow. The beauty of messing around with old bikes is I learn something almost every time! I'll let you know how it...

Hey all! Removed my headers to replace the rotten muffler a while back and now I cannot for the life of me get those little "cup" things into the head and put the exhaust on after. I am referring to the metal "sleeves" that are in between the crush washer and the header itself. I have...

I looked and could not find any whole headlights for a decent price. Mine is an 80 so 79 to 82 should fit? Maybe from another honda if anyone knows off hand. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm looking for a headlight that will work and see why my carbs are leaking, i posted about them!

Anyone use a different headlight? Mine was removed when i took off the ugly vetter fairing. i found universal ones on ebay but i am worried about the quality. Any other years or from other bikes fit? Directly wire up? If not i'll make a switch and wire it straight to the battery, thanks!

Hello! So i just got the bike yesterday and have ridden it once so far. It was a little hard to start and I noticed some gas leaking from the "nipples" on the bottom of a few carbs. I read in another post that i should clean the bowls and tap on them, yes? I woke up this morning and the bike...

What's up everyone! Just bought my first CB750 yesterday! It is a 1980 CB750k and my plans are to cafe/brat it a little as the seat and high handlebars bother me. I have been riding for almost 7 years and in sunny South Florida where the traffic is terrible that is a long time (haha). Three...
