Topic: '79 CB650... cracked intake manifolds

[nickytonk]

I am looking for replacements (2 of my 4 are cracked... but, I plan on replacing them all)... a local Honda dealership has them but they're kinda pricey.  Are there any other models that have compatible carbs/intake manifolds?  Any ideas would be great!

Try an online discount house like bikebandit.com.  They have the diagrams and exploded views online and if a part is available it can be added to your cart, if not, no add to cart button.  I have had good experiences with them.

No such luck at the moment.  Thanks for the link!

NO.

The silicone turbo hoses might work if they offer the size you need.

Silicon seal works but only for a few days to weeks. In a pinch that is! But nothing beats replacing them and they are available and not all too expensive.
