Most bits will fit but you will have to make some bracketry for the "Hang On" parts like exhausts 10068

Remove drain screw, retire to middle of big field and pump up and down vigorously, standing well away from the drain screw.
This method is for all non environmentaly concious riders-----if you are so minded tie wrap a large placky bag around the fork lower before pumping, no need for middle of field then either 10070

Thats a strange one as I remember the F1 in 76 being Yellow or Red(as per the ID book). The 2 colours i gave on your other post were US only, is yours an import?

Nobody can tell you what the original colour was, not even Honda, so as long as you stay to a produced colour you will be OK. At least you can get to RS in Barnsley to get the paint! Post the frame number and i will let you know the colour options but do it in the specific bike post not here.

Cant remember wether its 3/16 or 1/4 whit socket (12 point) is a "Hammer Fit" onto a knackered 12mm hex head (filter bolt) and hammereing it on usualy loosens it enough to undo with a bar or ratchet
