Topic: My 1972 CB750 - what do you like better ?

Flamin obvious choice.
It would be a crime to paint over a Arlen Ness paint job.

What paint job?

sounds like you got a potential transformer!...just have it all ready to go to suit your mood or when you get bored...like 3 bikes in one!

Here’s before I put on the stock front fender and fork Boots -

Wow!
Brings back memories of mine when it was young. I think I only have 3 or 4 pictures of it when it was still that color (one is in my book!).

Thanks - I picked up the gold paint set and the brown paint set on eBay - So guess I’m good to go -

That's Flake Orange and not gold.They made 3 different colors in 72,Orange,brown and gold.

You will hopefully not paint the flame tank set!
Another complete set good to have for a quick swap.

Briar Brown, mostly spelled Brier Brown which must be wrong is very dark, difficult to see it as brown, right?
The old bikes I have seen have not been brown at all, as a strange color you'll get when mixing all old paint cans you have into one

The new (K1) Garnet Brown tank from Yamiya look good.

I painted a tank with Peugeot Cupid Brown Metallic after I heard from an earlier owner that the bike, CB750 K2 was brown from the very beginning, Briar Brown.
When I saw a sparkling brown metallic Peugeot 3008 SUV in the sunshine in Spain May 2018 I found it to be next color!!
K2 stripes on as well.

Brown metallic seems to be more popular on cars the last years. Mercedes and Volvo have nice versions of brown. Maybe Opel too.
