I've spent some time the past few days lettering and striping the fuel tank, with "El Guapo."  I also fit a new chain, and a larger diameter rear sprocket.  The original sprocket wasn't in a great shape, and I had this great aluminum 64 tooth sprocket.  That should help it run at a slow walking pace in first gear.
I still need to fiddle with the front forks, and of course get it running.  I had it running a couple evenings ago, but discovered an oil leak.  So I spent a couple hours taking the top end off and cutting a new base gasket out of thicker, much better gasket material.  The gaskets I got in a gasket kit were just too damn thin.  I don't know if that will cure the leak, as I'm letting the gasgacinch set up before putting oil back in it.  We'll see what happens tomorrow morning.
