72 cb450 exhaust gasket shenanigans Ill give the freezer trick a try, can't hurt. Thanks!

So have a new issue. I bought a full engine gasket set from dcc and the gaskets and all that fit fine but the copper crush gaskets are a tad too large to fit in the exhaust ports on the head. Am I supposed to just put the collars and everything together and use the pressure from bolting the...

Like the title says, I'm looking for a pair of headers for my 72 CB450. Let me know how much for them shipped to 02740.

Brake light blowing fuse I did rush into it. Turns out is was an unplugged wire from the right coil. Must of pulled it while tracing the taillight problem. Whoops. Bike runs much better now. Just needs new throttle cable and intake boots to be where I want it.

Brake light blowing fuse Too late, I already pulled and cleaned the carb. Runs exactly the same after I cleaned it though. So it's either electrical or I have a rip in the boot that connects the carb to the engine, causing a vacuum leak. I'm going to check for a leak because when I cover the...

I keep finding the problems on my own...this never happens haha. Turns out the left carb is getting fuel, revving up nice but the right carb chokes and bogs out when i try to rev just that carb. Checked the petcock for a block when i replaced the fuel hoses the other day and fuel flows through...

Brake light blowing fuse Got a new issue. When riding around town I can get up to speed fine. But on the highway the bike seems sluggish. Seems a bit slow starting out from a stop. Accelerates decently after it gets going and can hit redline up to 4th gear. When I get into 5th I have to keep...

Brake light blowing fuse Found the problem. Had a connection in the tailight that was touching the housing and shorting the system. No more worrying that someone is going to rear end me. Now it's tune up time, because the bike is topping out at around 60mph. It did sit for almost a year though...

Hi everyone, I'm still fairly new here and before you ask i did use the search function first. I recently bought a CB450 that runs and drives and all the good stuff. Didn't realize until i got it home that the brake and taillight were not working. Talked to the guy i bought it from and it...
