Don't accept the problem as 'yours'. The seller needs to find the keys, or pay a locksmith to resolve the problem before the sale. He could also look into purchasing a lock & key set from a J-H that is being parted out.
Or, buy a J-H that has keys. There's a 1974 J-H for sale near me (Minnesota), 'Tangerine', clean, equipped with Dellorto DHLA 45E carbs, metal bumpers with chrome caps... and it comes with keys. I saw it at a show last Saturday (Oct 12th), and the only 'problem' I noticed was that the bonnet's rear edge sits high when closed. Something in the hinge probably needs to be adjusted.
Act soon before the snow flies (any day now), or wait until spring.
