Thanks everybody - The bike is a 1972 .
Here is some photos  of my buddy Ron Morelli's CB750 back in the
1970's - Castro Valley , Calif.

There is a pretty big gap under the seat section, be nice if it covered more of the frame and fender brace.

Keep it as it is! It is a good looking time capsule from the 70's in good condition. Restore engine if needed so it will run as good as these can.
Fiberglass tank need probably liner inside to withstand modern fuels. I have a friend that has a tank-side cover body like Tracy (Bimota look). He let one guy cut open the tank and placed an alu tank inside, closed it plus new paint.

In a prior post I think you mentioned that the paint was done by Arlen Ness, in which case I would leave it as you got it.

What Bankerdanny said. If it is Ness-painted bodywork, don't mess with Ness.  Set it aside or use it as is.

A Ness paint job is art. I bought a fibermold tank to put on a black bike. It got here with a note, the striping was done by the Englishman at Laconia in the late 70's. No way can I sand that off.
