Thank you. Considering how they looked when I received the bike I agree.

We are not going into as complete a job on my 71 R75/5 and our pace, as a pair of Geezers, is much slower. We call my hobby garage "The New Geezer Garage."

I could be wrong, as I am not a lock smith but figured I would comment. The bike is looking very good.
I am moving much slower on my restoration job at present. I have ordered some parts and am waiting for them to come in. The original parts were fine, they just didn't look so nice anymore. LOL. St.

For fun I was able to set an old /6 white tank on the bike to see what its going to look like.
Re: 1971 R75/5 Restoration
Without the tank, fenders, headlight bucket and ears there really isn't much I can do now. Hopefully they will be in the shop sometime next week.
