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.
