Thanks for doing that!! So the story goes like this:
A few years ago Roland Sans made a bike called "El Barracho" it means the drunkard. I thought, that's cool... Naming your bike something and doing it in Spanish. I'm an Irish dude from Northern New England... Go figure. So the original decal on th stock savage tank said "the Big Single". I looked up that literal translation and one of the choices was El Gordo. The english equivalent to "The Fat One". Seems appropriate.... Big fat single cylinder! The painter surprised me with the fat Mexican dude on there. I love it! He also did some 80's skateboard logos on the sides for me since I have a skate deck fender and wheel for a brake light housing.
Thanks for asking! Grin

I don't believe you are going to be strong enough to push the exhaust valves open with that tiny lever that the solenoid cable pulled on.
