Looking for a decal set for my CB750F import,it’s orange and all I’ve found are for the red or yellow model
-

Thanks will do that :)

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?
-
It’s an original colour F model from 1975 I have seen a picture of one in orange on a USA site

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!

[attachimg=1] There you go! Also, the filler flap was always a satin black on the F & F1 models, on the F2 it was tank coloured.
-
That model came with Rear Tail Decal??

I don’t think it had a tail piece decal originally
-
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.

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!

Yea, but in those days £99 was a weeks money.

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!

If I remember rightly a 75 USA f was flake sunrise orange or candy sapphire blue.

Not candy saphire blue but candy sword blue.

Everything I have seen for a 75 USA 750f says.
1975 F-model SuperSports
Flake Sunrise Orange: color code R2CF
Candy Sapphire Blue: color code PB3CC

That could very well be. I've never seen one.
Do you maybe have a picture or a link?
-
Is this one that colour, only seen pictures but never a real one.

Were they USA only?

I like that blue but think I’ll stick with the orange for my repaint

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.
-
Yes. Candy saphire blue.
Never seen that before.
Thank you.
