I noticed your keychain has the old Bell System Logo - Did you work for them? - I did for 28 years

The keychain cam with the motorcycle. I was in the Air Force for 20 years and then worked for Cendant and then retired from Sierra Trading Post after 15 years. I was the IT Operations Manager.

Very nice restoration. I also have a Blue 75 but no ware as nice as yours.

Thank you. Is it an original or have you restored it?

Thanks for the info on the paint and the link, I am bookmarking this! I have a red 75, but also picked up a blue-green 75 and the paint on it is in terrible shape, PO really messed it up. Hopefully when the weather gets nice I will have it ready for paint.

I just checked the pics again, you do nice work, that 75 is beautiful

I believe that it is mostly original. I purchased it a few years ago. I also believe that it may have been painted at some point. Currently rebuilding brakes front and back.

The bike is beautiful and so is your shop. I think taller handlebars were installed on it. Your lift looks really nice and looks very expensive. I have a cheap Harbor Freight model but it works ok.
