I know this is like an "oil" topic. My, new to me, bike was supposedly restored/rebuilt about 20+ yrs ago. It was previously sold as a Combat ....it clearly is not! Mechanically it is not and the VIN (22160x) also indicates such.
The scruffy silver painted barrels are currently off the bike and I simply cannot decide to keep them silver or paint them black!
As I understand, the 750cc Combat was black... others were silver (aluminium)
I'll accept the vote from you all as to what I should do!
Thanks

Hi Rider 750's had drum brakes and Silver Barrels.

Clearly not correct for 1973 which this bike is (750 MkV).
