'75 Mint 400 side covers

[dirtymartini]

Does anyone know the correct colors for the side covers on a '75 mint 400? Right now the exhaust side is blue with yellow on the number plate area and the airbox cover side (left) is white with yellow on the number plate area. I don't need a paint code I just want to know what came from the factory. Thanks for all the help everyone has given so far on this project, I've been waiting 25 years to get this bike away from my brother!

If you are going to race it in AHRMA (with the top of the rear shocks in the upper hole) in the Vintage class, the number plate will need to be white. If you race it in the post vintage class (with the shocks in lay down position), the number plate will need to be yellow.

Ok, I know I'm geting off topic now, but I have a question about AHRMA rules. I think I would like to try Vintage racing;what class does my 75 Mint 400 fit into? I was reading on AHRMA's web site and it looks like they have a post vintage '75-'77?

Thanks,

If you set your 75 400 to 7"travel forks and rear shocks at 4", you should be able to run vintage class but you must get it verified at tech inspection. You might run a search here on "ahrma" because I ran into this with my 75 250, received a reply from them and I posted it here.Have fun! Dan Pagel
