I have a blue 1964 CB72. My understanding is that most of them had a light blue seat, but some had black.

My CB72 had the optional wider blue "violin case" seat on it. It's wider and longer than stock. I think it looks odd, so I'm going to restore a blue seat and get a cover from the guys in canada that seem to make a pretty nice looking cover.

Looksee; I think I'm right in saying that OE was blue, on the blue bikes. My original '64 CB77, back in the early '70s, definitely was; albeit totally knackered!

Here's an archive pic, and one of a pal's resto'd CB72:
