1976 CB750F Air box 'gasket'

Hello!

First post, but I have been following these forums for a month or so now. I recently bought a 1976 CB750F with 17,000 miles and a beautiful (sarcasm) windjammer faring on it. It ran decently, quite rich and powerless, but it still ran. I am in the process of pulling it apart, cleaning the carbs and perhaps rejetting/syncing them before I cafe/'brat' styling the bike (will post a build thread as I get further along).

The PO I'm guessing took apart the air box to change or clean the filter and when he did, he didn't put the gasket on right and half of it was hanging out of the air box. It is now completely useless as it is stretched out and falling apart. All that to say, does anyone here have one that I could buy off them? I looked into buying the entire box but didn't feel like spending ~$50 just for the gasket. If worse comes to worse I will buy the whole box as the plastic where the nut on the bottom fits into is starting to strip out.
 
I'm also interested in this. I know gaskets can be made by hand, but I have yet to find a retailer that sells just the gasket.

It's been three days. I would consider posting your question over at sohc forums.

Sounds good. Thanks, bjonesin! I posted it over at cb1100f.net too.

I considered just getting pods, but everything I've heard from people on hear is that they are terrible for performance.
 
you can just buy o-ring material and cut your own. you just need to know the dia of the gasket.

Sort of... I PM'd superchomper2003 because he said he had 76 cb750f parts and found out he had an airbox in good shape that he was willing to sell, but I'm still waiting to hear back from him.

Good idea, BCBarker. I also have seen this stuff: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/PER3/25229/N2362.oap?ck=Search_gasket_N2362_-1_3816&keyword=gasket&pt=N2362&ppt=C1984

Do you think that would work? I've also thought about maybe using silicone out of the tube...
 
I'd stick with a gasket cord material. Silicone out of the tube would essentially glue the two pieces together. you want to be able to separate the air box to change the filter.
