Marizio, Welcome. and while a newcomer myself, forgive me if i "share". early guages, (those with "pebbled" plastic bodies & plasic lenses) had 2 different drive assemblies, & used different chrome bases. The info is here, but requires searching. replacing jewels & lenses means quite a bit of never meant work and can be expensive. I would make sure drives were correct for my application before proceding. luck G

I am not sure if also the chrome covers are different, I thought they are equal until and include the K2 chrome covers

Hi friends
I have some questions about my cb four 750.
So, the frame is 1030xxx and I dont know the perfect features of this model.

For example:
1)the lower part of tacho should be chrome or painted?
2)The cover of brake masters cylinder should be plastic or metal?
3)The handlebar should be hig or low ?
4)The chain cover should be painted?
5)The switch (power off side right)  should be red or black?  

Excuse me for translation.....If You have some informations or Photo's (for me is better) many thanks.

regards

 ;D I present my Vespa Vba 150 (1959)
