Nice countershaft sprocket.
Thanks! It spins!
Also, I added more chain and now it goes!

Actually I've done a bunch of things since the last post but it takes a while to get photos and video onto my server, remember what I did, write it down, and all that
Anyway, thanks to BARFer
Triple Threat for selling me the muffler, it's a beaut.
So now that it's running and rideable, it's time to work on making it roadworthy. Progress on that tonight included getting all the lights working, which was pretty easy since riding around the island fixed the taillights (somehow) so all that was left was the headlights.
Running lights work, high beams work, just the low beams were out. Filaments and wiring had continuity so that left the switchgear. Had it apart and figured out that the high beam switch wasn't making contact when set to Lo.
It lit up when I compressed the switch housing though, so in we go.
Took it apart, cleaned it up, and what do you think the odds are that I got all these tiny springs back into place without losing one?
Amazing even myself, I managed to get it all back together without losing anything. There wasn't even much cursing! I only had to take it back apart once!
By the end of the night, all the lights and switches work. Next up is probably replacing the petcock as it's weeping fuel from the valve and doesn't seem user-serviceable.
Oh, and also bodywork brackets. I have enough to fit the fairings, but there are a couple brackets that are either missing or buried in my pile of parts so they're not really ready to ride. That said, it's pretty amazing how complete everything was considering the photos back on page 1.
