Topic: Newbie needs help with 76 CB750F Exhaust PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

[joelreiser]

Hello all. This site is awesome. Due to my uncle's recent death and the love of motorcycles, I was given his 76 Honda 750F. This bike is nearly flawless and would love to keep it this way. The bike has less than 2000 miles on it. One tiny chip that he touched up with nail polish. The only other issue was from sitting, the carbs needed to be cleaned. The exhaust has blued and there is a small hole in the muffler from water sitting at the bottom. Can some one please help me on where to find this 4 into 1 exhaust. Is this exhaust that rare? I'm so lost. PLEASE HELP!!! <a href="http://" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://</a>

Hello joelreiser,

have you tried your local Honda dealer. I have a buddy that picked up a new muffler for his 750F from them.

It's worth a try, but can be expensive.

Cheers,
Lou.

...forget the dealer, there are plenty of aftermarket options for 750's...denniskirk, mac, kerker...

[joelreiser]

My entire goal is to keep this bike as orginal as possible. I appreciate the help...

Hey Newbie, You may want to look over the Kerker, when Honda got into the "RACING" stage Kerker and Hooker were about the only choices you had "BACK IN THE DAY"? If not check out "WALNECKS" classic cycle trader, they have a lot of the good stuff, "BUZZ" himself usually has theese kinds of things, but I`ll warn you now he know`s his bissiness, and asks a fairly good-price!   www.walnecks.com   Check it out! They have several different places in there that specialize in older Metrics,: www.ricepaddymotorcycles.com In the April 2005 issue they had a great write-up on the old 750 Hondamatic! Good-Luck Porkchopxspress   P.S. I apoligize I don`t currently have any Honda`s in stock, otherwise I`m sure I could`ve helped! Check my website from time to time, for each week I get older Metrics as much as possible.  www.JoesBikeparts.com

Thanks porkchop. No luck at Walnecks. Put a request into ricepaddy. Are you saying if I put a Kerker on, it will not decrease any value? Like I said, this is mint as it comes with exception of the blueing and that damn rust hole.

[Uncle Ernie]

The only way to prevent bluing is to park it forever. Think of it as the Antique MC Club might call "period modified".
I'd like to recommend the contacts available through the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club, also.

Thanks Ernie. Whats the website?

I have to say I disagree with not keeping pipes nice. I've put several sets on bikes (my 750k5, 71 Triumph, Harley) and have prevented all of them from turning blue. First and obviuos is to make sure it is in good tune. Next is to take a quart can of the highest temp paint you can find and genoursly coat the inside of the head pipe and muffler. I tape off the end, pour it in, rotate it around to make sure all is coated well, then drain off the excess. Did this with the mufflers too after I removed the baffles (at least on the 750, doesn't work on glass pack mufflers). Result is absolutely NO bluing, on any of the bikes. Smells a little first time starting as the paint 'cures' in the pipe, but it works. The paint acts as an insulator. Only will work with new pipes though. I've got several thousand miles and several years on all these pipes with good results.

There is a set of 4 into 1 pipes and muffler on Ebay with 2 days and 5 hours left on the bid for a $50.00 starting bid.

Yeah, they make a product just for coating the insides.

As for an original muffler, keep looking. Theres probably one out there in the world somewhere if you really really want one.

I think what the other guys on this post where trying to say was: when you find another muffler you can either install it (remembering you had a damn hard time finding one), or perhaps, if your going to ride the bike, put a period correct aftermarket on it and save the Original till later.

[gkw120649]

The Ebay post I sent was for a stock setup.

[joelreiser]

Thanks kghost. Good idea. Cant find the one on ebay though.....

Here is the Ebay link for the pipes and muffler:
