cb 550 exhaust gasket
« on: May 13, 2009, 03:38:22 PM »
I removed the exhaust and painted it. After trying to put it back on, I realized there was no gasket. Is the 550 supposed to have a gasket? ??? ??? I think so, and I cannot find a set anywhere. Do the 500 or 750 gaskets fit the 550? ??? ???


It's a 1974


thanks alot guys

Yes there are gaskets, usually copper colored under all the soot.

Common replacement part at Honda dealer, for example.  The FAQ lists several places to get parts.
