Hey honey badger, I also have an F3 header on my CB750k (1978) and just picked up a new F3 for a project. The outer diameter on the stock exhaust 4-1 header is 2 1/8", I'll try and check with my mic what that is in CM. Its not easy to find a lot of exhausts in that size as they're usually 2" or 2 1/4" (like my cone engineering muffler). I had to get some short pieces of exhaust pipe from auto zone and put a spacer in. Also David silver spares sells the original exhaust gasket for the end of the header where the muffler attaches (make sure to get the right one) which has some thickness to it as well....Good luck. let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
