          Looks pretty good!

          FYI, that grease zerk in the first pic is worthless. only way to really get the grease where it needs to be is to remove the final drive and smear it on by hand.

                              Just bought this bike about a month and a half ago. Hoping to do some work, but not mechanically inclined, so I will need some help...

                                Nice bike. Believe it or not your bike has already been the topic around here a few times, be careful with that one.
