[QUOTE="Little Honda, post: 33175, member: 667"] Roy, do you have a K/S shaft with CB750 splines cut on the original shaft, or do you have the HONDA part being welded to the VINCENT shaft? I have just broken twice my welded item, so that I would like to know, if one can turn off the VINCENT splines and cut the HONDA splines on it? My welded shaft broke first, because the centralizing bore in the Honda part was not in line. The second weld broke, because I sacrificed a short Honda kick start lever by cutting its end off and lengthening it by a tube, being bent at its end for trying out the effect on kicking with a longer lever. It was about 4 in longer than the Honda item and did the job so well, that it felt, as if there were no plugs in! But only twice: Then the weld broke again. Now I know: The ideal length is abt. 2 in longer, than the longer version of the Honda kick start lever, and the shaft should be app. 1/2 in longer than the original one, to clear the footrest and the gearchange lever, when kicking (a Norvin).
