Topic: CB750K5 Muffler Question

[ekpent]

Thanks -- Just curious what the stamp looks like for reference.  Just used to just seeing an HM341 or HM300 usually on a stocker pipe. Nice forum thread also .    Those old cbx bikes of that era do show up now and then because at the time Honda had a hard time selling them and they were given away to college folks for instruction machines. Is this an example by chance ?

Hi ekpent
Im still going to get a good pic tonight.  This cbx stayed at its original dealer until a collector of exotic bikes bought it in 1986. I copied the original title showing 1.1mile before i turned it in to the dmv to get titled in my name. The odo now shows almost 1.2 miles now from me rolling it around my shop. I only paid about what a new cb1100 costs. Id like to have one of those too. I am grateful to the honda factory guys back then for having the foresight to shut off the fuel and run the carbs dry before crating it up. After thirty two years she fired right up and runs like a brand new bike.

I've always thought this was the saddest "fatality" of the USA 55 MPH speed limit law. Just when Honda came out with a mega-machine, you couldn't even ride it in high gear here, in Honda's largest big-bike market.

But today, they can stretch their legs!

It looks to me that the stamp on your pipes indicates reproduction.  I don't know the whole story but repro-pipes may have been available about 10-years ago. My friend in Minnesota has two sets of HM341s that he bought in 2006 from the HONDA dealer in Thunder Bay, Ontario, CA.
