couple questions

lcochran
So i'm the second owner of my 1975 Cb750F and its in beautiful condition.  I have always understood that my paint was original.  However, i've begun to doubt the fact that its originial because people are shocked when i say the paints original.  Anyone know how i could verify if its original?  It matters to me very little but i just wanna know.

Also, anyone know how to fix the starter button or have a solution thats affordable?  The plastic housing on the inside of the controls deteriorated and now i just have a small hole in my controls and i have to kickstart it.....

I'm not sure about the color, but I do remember seeing Honda's in blue back then, so i would assume it is. Have you removed the tank and looked for over spray? You could maybe even make a small scratch some where underneath.
As for your starter button, vintagecb750.com sells new starter button repair kits.

The 1975 Super Sport was available in Candy Saphire Blue and flake Sunrise Orange.  Looks like it's the authentic colour even if it has been re sprayed.
