I need a headlamp for my 75' 750f.
Is it a standard auto headlight?
Any suggestions on where to find one?

I'm assuming it is a 7" sealed beam lamp. I did get a lamp at an auto parts place for mine, but I've since seen postings that suggest the filement will not last long due to vibration. I've seen lamps specifically for motorcycles on the J.C. Whitney web site.

I've been using the halogen replacement assembly from J C Whitney for Loooooong time now.  Works great.

My previous response to this question from Chemmy:

"H4 conversion, lots of options.

You do have the 7" round headlight, correct?
Best choice in my opinion is from a later Honda, I think one of mine came from a DOHC about 1981.
There are sometimes used aftermarket replacements on ebay, several better manufacturers made them, that's how I got another.
There are some people selling cheap imported units on ebay (around $20 from India I think) and people seem to be satisfied with them.
There is always JC Whitney who has a couple to choose from.
And last but certainly not recommended you can get an automotive halogen sealed beam which firs right in for about $10. So look around, there's lots out there. You just have to turn over the right rocks."

That should cover a lot of it for you.

Motorcycle headlamps have a heavier filament for vibration resistance. The bottom of the lens usually says "MOTORCYCLE" along the edge.
