  • Some of the old British bikes could be a nightmare to kick over. I remember a story about my uncles ganging together to buy an old AJS which they tried vainly to start for hours on end. When a friend asked "what does AJS stand for?" he received the reply, "Agh, Jesus, start!"

  • Went to a classic event in Northern Spain this year and watched open-mouthed as several 500 Velocettes there had electric starters...makes you think why the makers didn't do this to start with. It might have saved the British bike industry for a few years at least.

  • I well remember my old Norton ES2, a 500cc single, threw me in the air when I tried to kick start it once. No electric starts in those days!

  • Ha! cool!

    Old Vincent riders must find it a bit tough kicking over a 1000cc V-Twin!

  • My dad fitted one of these starters to his Vincent Rapide and its probably the only reason he can still ride it because he has a bad hip.

    If you are young and fit then i agree with you but most Vincent riders aren't young or particularly fit from my experience lol

  • kick your bike man!

  • lets see more please

  • They sound really nice especially the yellow one. How is the electric start adapted in? Do they use valve lifters? I've built a high compression 883cc BSA twin that can be difficult to kick.
