Honda CB 750 1974 - Restord
« on: December 15, 2009, 11:53:21 AM »
Hi. Norway calling, and I want to show my bike. Its an 74 CB 750 which I restored last winter. The bike has been stored for 10 years, 1 owner from new. I have always love the Flake Sunrise Orange so for me that's the choice of color. New muffler from David Silver and other parts from eBay's or David Silver was needed. The bike is strong and I am very pleased with it.

Well done! Very nice. Love the colour (although the blue was also pretty cool).

cheers
Andy

Yes, the blue is also nice, but I have to paint so then I did change too Flake Sunrise Orange, used House of Colour products and my painter on work did a good job.

The other bike on one of the pothos is a Suzuki S32 1964, 150 ccm - also a cool bike.

Any Idea what that blue was called? ??? I know it was not the planet blue and it was only offered in other countries. I just bought a K4 with that same color blue that the PO had nos parts repainted the correct blue. I also have the mint condition flake sunrise orange fuel tank and side panels in boxes that came off of the very low mileage bike! :)

Flake sunrise orange for sure draws some attention on the roads. It is a color I could not get out of my head until I bought this K4. Of course, I could not get the ruby red or candy gold out of my head either.
