For sale - Brass K75 exhaust bushings
« on: March 01, 2018, 07:08:21 PM »
Has the exhaust bushing on your K75 turned to fairy dust??? 

I have a quantity of BRASS bushings made by our own Bocutter Ed.  Price is $30 shipped and ALL proceeds are going to support Motobrick.com.

Fix that leaky exhaust and help fill the MotoBrick.com tank.

We were supposed to hold off on these for a bit. Anyone wants one should sign a non-disclosure agreement first. So of course no pictures please ...

I'll check with Bocutter Ed.  They are his creation, I'm just the guy who mails them in the U.S.

If anyone is doubtful about these, by the way, I'm running the original working prototype from a couple years ago and it's still working 100% fine. With any luck it'll last through years (and, more importantly, many muffler removals).

 :2thumbup: :2thumbup:And I can attest to them working inverted in OZ. It has cured my Bricks backfiring on over run. Nearly as good as Tim Tams but better than Vegemite.

The gaskets have long been ready.

The lawyer and I should be done with the Non-Disclosure Agreement tomorrow, or next day. (I'm the delay: upgrading systems, software, and skills from semi-retiring in '05 ... )

I am sold! how to order?
I'll post that once the NDA is finalized. You will get one of the first run for "testing purposes' in exchange for a 'donation' to motobrick.com

I stand by my call, definitely better at sealing exhausts leaks than Vegemite. You can give it a try if you don't believe me. But Vegemite is better at lubing bearings. :hehehe

Near as I can tell the NDA is ready for a digital signature. You'll need Adobe Reader on your computer. There are 6 gaskets in the US with TMG, and 2 more in Australia with Martin. I have a 'bunch' here in Toronto. When they're gone ...

If you want a gasket send me your email by PM. I will send the form. You fill in your particulars, sign & return it. You make a $30.00 US donation to motobrick.com (donation link is above). TMG, Martin, or I will ship a gasket. I will send an installation sheet (photography pending). Think that's it.

Oh, and no pictures, but comments will be appreciated.

I have them in my K75's.  They do take a little work to install, but once they're in, you probably will never need to do it again.

He's saying he needs 2, one for his self and another for a local bud. I think I've half a dozen in the box. I'll have to think whether to ship from here or replenish your stockpile ...
