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 .?
