Interested in getting a paint job for my spare CB750K2 tank/sidecovers and am considering either Polynesian Blue or Planet Metallic blue or similar….considering going for something other than the stock Gold/black lined stripe.

Anyone got a blue CB750K1/K2 they want to share so I can see it real world?

Thanks
Andy

You missed Sean's K2 from Ireland in May? I thought you rode up to Steve Blake's and saw his??

You were there!

And my K5 Planet Blue you can come see anytime 😊

Sean's has the gold and white stripe

Then there's the non 🇺🇸 market 78F that has red stripe

Sean's should be the Polynesian Blue, though it is close to the Planet Blue

My K4 "Big Bang" bike was blue when I blew it up. I had it painted Flake Sapphire Blue as I loved that color, it was the color of my first SOHC 550F.

After a rebuild, I changed it to red as I had two other blue bikes...

Thanks again Stu that K5 looks great! I think I’m partial to the Polynesian blue now that Per has posted those two side by side (thank you!)

Steve that red does look really good but I think I’m leaning towards blue. Having said that I’d love to see what a pearl white tank with red stripes would look like - to match my Mini

Thoughts on MINI colours - pearl white with red stripe or Polynesian Blue

Polynesian blue

I've got a brown seat from Bert that'd really pop with those Mini colors, a set of brown grips might help too.

P Blue for the win!

PeWe · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2025, 12:21:15 AM »

Planet blue is not bad either.

We need several tank and side cover sets in all Honda colors like a wardrobe for the bike or bikes.

Swap the set is quickly done

Mine is candy blue green, I also like the freedom green

Beautiful colors.
I have a set in freedom green metallic.
There is a bluish/green tone I did not know until I got it on the bike and out for a ride.
Then I understood why some guys on this forum loved their US CB750 K4-74 bikes in freedom green metallic.

My covers have red aftermarket diamonds.
I have yellow with Hm wings for them.

That's what my K3 looked like PeWe, ^ it takes me back. It is the one I had that I should not have sold. Most of us old fellers had a bike back in the day that we miss, the smart guys kept theirs.

MauiK3 · « **Reply #22 on:** **Today** at 06:43:22 AM »

Very tempting to get a green body set, beautiful

Laids · « **Reply #23 on:** **Today** at 07:45:54 AM »

It’s funny when you compare the blues and greens, you put something you think is green beside something that is green and it may look more blue ( if that makes sense).
I got an NOS tank in Freedom Green, ordered paint from VMR to match the side covers , it turned out more blue. Ended up buying painted side covers from Yamiya which matched perfectly.
Also K1 tank badges, just thought they look nicer.
I compared the VMR paint to Candy Blue Green I have and it looked green.

PeWe · « **Reply #24 on:** **Today** at 10:33:28 AM »

OK, my photo was affected by twilight making it more special

Here same bike in daylight, no sunshine though.

This tank and side covers are repainted stock tank+ aftermarket covers bought from a US seller/painter in CA 2012.

The Candy Bachus Olive look good too!
