Saw these on ebay

Mufflers on eBay
My left stock one has battery acid stains where the chrome is gone. These might give me a liitle shinier set. Anybody know anything about them? Thanks fellas.

IMHO, they are entirely to expensive, you can get a pair of replica Dunstall mufflers made by Emgo a lot cheaper (~$90 a pair).

On the same topic, I got my '76 750B with aftermarket pipes on it (V. Loud!) plus I like the look of the original pipes (reverse cone, different angle) better.

Are the Emgo muffler replicas my only real choice?

-

Also, a gasket question, if I may. Are they METAL Ring gaskets right at the head? How long are they good for? :blink:

Is this my replacement?

Check Dennis Kirk, they sell an Italian brand also.

Some gasket kits include a composition exhaust gasket for the 750 twin, they have worked well for me, but if you remove the pipes they have to be replaced. They can't be reused.

Yep, those are the best ones to use.
