Honda CB 750 F1 Restoration

[Steveek]

Hi Guys just joined your forum as I have bought a CB 750 F1. It needs a lot of work but I am looking forward to the challenge as it will be my first restoration. First of all the colour I think is wrong as it is blue. Anyone tell me what colours for that year, I'm told it is 1977 but I'm not sure.
  Frame is CB750F1019168  Eng. No. CB750E2535629.
 I live in Durban South Africa  so advice please on where to source parts.
 
 Hope someone can help please.

Welcome aboard Steveek,

It was available in one of two colors: Candy Presto Red or Black
The gas tank stripe was red with gold pinstripes
The gas tank, side covers, and rear cowl were the basic color (red or black)

Thanks for the reply, very interesting. Looks like my bike is a 1975 750F0 with frame number CB750F1019168 and my blue colour looks correct, although my side panels are also blue,they should be black. Am I right? Also it does have the same warning light unit between the gauges like my 400 4, which I thought was wrong at first. The parts manual I downloaded shows this as correct.
