Side Panel Confusion (For Me)
Green1:
Its not worth putting the effort in to remove the filler. Flog them on eBay and put the money towards LPM panels

It looks like DSS is wrong, as honda750expert.com says:
Orange side cover diamond jewel = originally for 72-76.
Thanks!

Sliver is listing the part as Genuine and fits the bike. He never says, it is original to the bike. Always be careful of listings like this ;)

Maybe someone has a trick to get the plaster out without damaging the surrounding plastic.
Your right side panel is lumpy because the paint is getting loose. There is air under the paint.

It's also possible they have scored the surface to get it to stick better.

Many thanks for your replies, gents.
Being retired, I have time on my hands, so I was hoping that I could resurrect those old panels, and it wouldn't matter how long it took.
I'm just trying to keep the costs down, and for the first time I'm using a spreadsheet to track costs - it's frightening.
I've already been in touch with Karen at LPM, so it looks as though I'll be buying some new panels.
Andrew-S:
Just a thought and nothing to lose, but why not scrape the paint off around the emblem and soak the local area in thinners for a few days as it might just react with the filler and soften it enough to did it out?

I had great fun with some side panels for my F1, Bought some on eBay and refurbished them, this was part way into the process, took ages to finish it but was worth it in the end.
And finished, I did some as spares as well
Cheers
