Just thinking, did they ever come in orange as standard? I have only ever seen red or yellow. Has it been re sprayed? Is it an F or K?

Post by: hairygit on April 26, 2019, 09:04:02 AM: Yep, they came in metal flake/candy orange. I bought a brand new tank and tailpiece for my F1 from DSS back in 1987, for the princely sum of £28 for the tank and £8 for the tailpiece. Never could get the strips for the seat trim in that colour though!

I don’t think it had a tail piece decal originally
Title: Re: 750F Decals
Post by: hairygit on April 26, 2019, 12:05:26 PM: Correct, none of the F/F1's had any tail decals

You must have seen the same ad in the bike papers that I did as I bought an F2 seat and tank for my F1 from DSS after the original tank leaked, the price was ridiculous compared to today.

Cheers

Post by: hairygit on April 26, 2019, 05:42:58 PM: Quite likely Dennis, I also bought 2 complete full exhaust systems for the F1 for £99 each, came with everything, brackets, collars, wedges, gaskets and nuts and bolts, a tank for my CB175K6 in candy green for £10 and lots of little bits and bobs for the F1. They were the days!

Post by: hairygit on April 26, 2019, 08:32:38 PM: It was indeed Steve, but an engineering firm I had been working for offered a good redundancy package, so I took it as work was still easy to find back then!

1975 F-model SuperSports
Flake Sunrise Orange: color code R2CF
Candy Sapphire Blue: color code PB3CC

Post by: Menno on April 30, 2019, 07:31:27 PM: That could very well be. I've never seen one.
Do you maybe have a picture or a link?

Some video of one, the colour balance of camera looks accurate on this one as some show quite a skewed baseline that distorts the tank colour.

Post by: Menno on May 18, 2019, 08:55:17 PM: Yes. Candy saphire blue.
Never seen that before.
Thank you.
