Topic: RE: Is this a Kerker on my 1975 CB750?

[chewbacca5000]

I would like to know if this is a Kerker exhaust on my 1975 CB750.  Look at the headers and how it uses the original clamps did Kerkers come that way?  Most 4 into 1 I see now attached to the head with studs not bolts like this one.  Thanks!

There should be a serial number on the muffler or the tubes, search Kerker along with that number and you will get the model.

[chewbacca5000]

Thanks!  I could not find any numbers as the black paint covers everything.

Looks like a chewbacca5000 exhaust system.

The rear muffler mount flange looks Kerker like.

Yeah,  thanks now if only I can get the correct Wookie tone for my exhaust system!  What do you think of this Wookiee Call ~ Chewbacca Growl ~ Chewbacca Sound  I am thinking his wookie exhaust is running a little lean probably needs more tuning like this guy Chewbacca Sound Tutorial

Kerker or Winning Performance.. basically same think..with a divorce between the two names...

[chewbacca5000]

Thanks 754!  Is this a good pipe to have compared to stock?  Will I gain a little HP?

[754]

 They worked good..I thinkone mounted to the upper shock bolt, and the other lower down..

My Kerker says "Kerker" on it!  Yes, they are a very good pipe, no longer made.
Depending on who you ask, and what other mods you have on your bike, you can expect 0-7% HP gain.

Yeah,  like that!  That's the sound I am going for.

Did you see that mint 72 in rochester NY with 8000 miles form the original owner?  He was asking 1,500 for a bike that  could have sold for $5000 easily.  It's gone now, but it really had me going.

Chew - do you happen to remember that red 750 for sale in Rochester you posted about 5 months ago?  (doubtful, I know, there are so many!)
Anyway, I bought it and am almost finished with it. Will post a pic later...

Your killing me!  Dying to see a pic.  I am bike rich and cash poor till I sell my 73. It is killing me as there are a few older cbs out there complete in good condition.  A 72 in Rochester probably has the vultures circling now.   That bike is MC Viagra!  Only wants 1,500 for it with 8,000 original miles, 1 owner bike.  Don't think you could ask for anything more out of CL. Thanks for the Kerker info.  Will a Yoshi type like Carpys give a 0 to 7% bump too?

Here is the K5 I bought in Rochester for $800. It had a rattle can paint job that the PO did. I had my buddy block sand it, shoot it w/clear and buff it.
Paint looks pro now. Polished covers,  changed the bars and and seat,[has a diff seat on now] forum member The Architect is doing a fine tune for me and it will be about done.
Thanks for the tip!

Glad it is working out for you.  Really looks great!!  It's hard to believe that was an 800 dollar bike a few months back! I like the seat alot how comfortable is it?  I am thinking of doing some seat mods and adding memory foam to mine.  Paint looks really good to.  Don't see red a whole lot, and everyone says orange is the fastest color.  I do know my red 302 Mercury capri with a four barrel got my lots of tickets.

[Stev-o]

Thanks.  The stock seat with a new cover is on it now. You're right, not a lot of red ones out there and I probably would not have picked it, but glad he did.  It had a lot of orange peel, it was pretty amazing how the sanding and clear coat madeit look really good. And for only 100 bucks.  A bike with club mans is not very comfortable for me, but looks so cool!  After 10 min you get used to it....

PS. I saw the 72 currently on Rochester CL.  Looks real nice, I bet the reason he hasn't sold it is the carbs are off. And he has an F model too?

Dont "look" to much diff from a Mac.  Would have thought more like Jardine.

KJ790 has euros on cb750 turned them upside down and the look sweet!  I might try that this weekend.  We'll see.  Got to fix the shaking problem and maybe put in a barnett still slipping a bit a highway.  Could try to adjust when it engages first.  We'll see.

He can want to sell that bad since other members have emailed with no response.  I'd offer full asking or more if it's that good.  He might have figured out what it's worth and not decided to sell.

Thanks.  Not sure what it is sure sounds good though.
