G'day Harley1450,  *welcome*.
The part #'s are front 42-6550 and rear 42-6904. The front is the same as the early A50/65's as well.
Keep trawling ebay and alike. Not sure if new ones of that shape are coming out of India.
Cheers

I brought a front for my 60 out of India and its hanging on the wall, a piece of cr*p. caveat emptor.
They also do come up on evilbay typically from people breaking perfectly good bikes.

I ended up fitting the early rocket type which I was advised by someone who really knows his stuff were an option for the late super rockets.
masking tape was because I painted the underside ...
These are more readily available being blade rather than valanced style and to my mind look smarter without going RGS replica.

RR I fitted similar and also did the underside in the same way but used car undersealer which has kept the dreaded rust a bay for nearly 10 yrs ,still very happy with the look of it, regards Bobh
