My engine and frame number, is only 3 numbers different to that ,Because you asked for it. This is off serial #220272 Saved this for the painter. Hand painted stripes.?.?> Original paint but edges look really sharp for a brush. I have an original 73 that the side covers are hand striped and the tank looks like a Bugler pin striper was used. I think there was an older post on these items Hope it is of some help

nice , was the black paint kind of moddley?Here you are - pics taken before repaint. Stripes were indeed hand painted. Note that on mine the Norton script is not centered in the “D” but somewhat higher .

I had a pro do it . It had a small dent and some rust bubbles but I would have repainted it regardless. Total nut and bolt redo.did you really repaint that tank?
Only the black ones had the “D” stripe. It remained on the black ones like this to the end of 750 production.The pinstripe around the Norton, when was that discontinued? , or should they all have it .?
