F0 tach & speedo are blue, F1 are green.

F0 only came in blue or flake orange. F1 only came in yellow or red.

Those are the only differences?  8) The F0 in original blue would be my choice in that case.  ;)

F0 tach & speedo are blue, F1 are green.

F0 only came in blue or flake orange. F1 only came in yellow or red.

Dark green faces in 75 that may fade to a blue color with the sun and light green faces in 76.

First half of the 75 models had a nylon cup in the rear brake master cylinder until s/n ~7000 or so.

As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

And I believe the sidecovers are different for some reason? Or at least the mounting points, I have two sets, both marked "F" but are differant.

F0, F1 are the same sidecovers.  F2,F3 are different from F0,F1 on at least one side of the bike.
