The 1976 model year bikes had light green instrument faces.

Is yours a 76 model?  Or, had 76 instruments intalled?

77-78 750's used blue faces. The redline was moved up to 9500 on F models. All previous years are green (I think) with redlines at 8500.

K0 had a redline to 8500rpm
K1-K6 had a redline at 8000 rpm
F/F1 had a redline at 8500 rpm
K7/K8 had a redline at 8500
The 76 K6 and F1 were the only ones to have a light green face
Some of the early dark green gauges have faded and appear to go blue
