I feel like adhesive should be used with broken emblems.

Plus, brand new paint? All I want is what's original. If I have to pay $42 an emblem, then I would expect to not have to use glue.

True that! Don't forget the clips.  ;)

Since I have a few sets, some silicone worked for me.  If I want to change them out, I do not risk the the chance of breaking them and losing them forever becuase of those fasteners.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Problem is, can't find original, right?

Really has good suggestion, silicone. Can still be removed if necessary. I've used it on side covers before.

Wouldn't it be from one of the 750A models...maybe the last year...I think only around 1400 built.  All the others were built in the 10's of thousands.  Even the sandcast numbers were around 7000......not all that rare.  Desirability, value, availability aside in actual numbers existing one of the A models is what I would bet on.

Contact cement works well too, not so hard to get off if needed.... {the yellow stuff that comes in a tube}   ;)
