Know how when you see a bike you want, you tend to look at it through rose-colored glasses? And after you own it for a short while you realize every Phillips head screw has been rounded off, among other problems? Well... that's me... hopefully not you!
Anyway... I'm going through everything (slowly) on the bike (1976 XS650C) and thought I'd take the (stock) exhaust apart this morning to check it all out. There is no muffler gasket on the right side! I know MikesXS has the gasket... but sheesh, I'd love to put it back together today. Has anybody found a substitute for the muffler gasket?? At least for the short term? BTW.. that muffler nut was not frozen... it came right off easily by hand. I suppose that shouldn't have been a surprise, given the missing gasket. I'll see what kind of response I get here, and if no suggestions come up, I'll order the gasket from MikesXS.
Thanks!!
