Topic: CB750 - Stator cover screws

[Stev-o]

Gosh...this original post goes back to December of 2007 when I was doing my first 750. As I read my first post there it really shows how much of a "newbie" I was...  And still learning...

I read this thread yesterday and thought, What? Johnie doesn't know what kind of screws to use??!   Then looked back and saw it was from 7 years ago.

+1 -  SS socket head screws.  I get em locally for 30 cents ea.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Stev-o. Bet you thought I "had a screw loose."

I am going to start an "oil"-like discussion by saying, do not use the copper antisieze paste. It does ugly things with aluminum and stainless steel. Use the standard silver (aluminum/zinc based) antisieze paste. You want to stop the dissimilar metal process, not accelerate it.

Or Tef-Gel, a PTFE antisieze paste used on boats to prevent the galvanic corrosion of aluminum and stainless steel.

+100  Only use copper at the exhaust or on the spark plugs, nowhere else. Zinc or Aluminum paste only in other locations (like the cases)!

Your right, I got lost, and now look at us. Were all screwed
