The good news is they're better than early Honda welds. 
Factory weld failures are virtually unheard of. 50 years on that's saying something.

Pssst.... hey, wanna little motivation? 
That's purdy!
That looks nice, I considered doing that on my 74. but baulked at the amount of bog it would take, I thought the amount I'd spend on bog would probably buy another bike!
What paint did you use?

Bog, wet spongy ground
What's called bog? 
Bondo, got it!
Take that Bondo, throw it in the bog. Done. Wish I had pics of a Honda chopper frame I reworked long ago. It was SMOOTH. LOL.
Bondo, plastic filler, bog

I’ll be having all the gaps in the welding welded up. Grind grind grind…..Then Bondo as light as I can in the most visible areas. Frame paint will be some sort of black with metal flake which can hide frame sins.

I was formally trained in auto body repair decades ago. We were instructed not to use the terms Bondo or plastic filler. We were told to call it Auto Body Filler. or Body Filler for short.
