Help me identify these race parts. Tank

These are described as being bought "years ago".   What are they?  Any ideas as the the maker?

Got no clue, but they look dynamite. For a 750 I presume? If you're looking to get rid of them, let me know. Did you just buy them? If so, nice score...

I don't own them.  Yet.  I got in to a conversation with an old timer who has a few Hondas and we exchanged emails.  He bought these parts back in '75 which makes me want them even more.  If he lets 'em go, they won't be cheap.  I just want to identify them for him right now.  I doubt that I'll ever get them.  He does have a few 750's but I have yet to see them.  One is dismantled.  Maybe he'll part with that one.  Thanks--SS

The fairing is a Dick's Cycle West.  Probably true for the tank and seat. Nice parts.

I'm not acquainted with the fairing, but the tank and seat do look like a Dick's Cycle West. (RIP)  ;)  RR

Can anyone send me link to Dick's cycle west pics?  A question for the old timers:  How many companies were producing stuff like this for CB's?

And remember, fiber glass tanks are not for street use. Never had one that withstood having fuel left in it for very long.. They worked on race bikes, as most good racers (mechanics) drained fuel out after every race.
