Will 79 KZ dohc exhaust headers fit k8 sohc?
« on: September 04, 2007, 05:50:51 AM »
Ive seen a set for sale and i was wondering if they would fit or could be made to fit.
Is it a diameter problem or spacing problem?

We just recently put a set of pipes from an 82 CB750 on my buddy's 77 CB750 with only minor modification to the hangers. The motor end aligned spot on.

in a word, No.  Kawasaki exhaust ports come straight out of the heads.  Honda pipes come out a different angles.

Thanks Tbone,i was wondering if there was going to be size issues.Are you going for a certain look or is it simple economics?
