[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 53792, member: 2708"] The only negative I found with the Honda kickstart is that it is too short. There are a couple of versions of the cb750 kicker, a short and a long. I have the long one here gives a 10" long footpiece to spline shaft centre distance. The standard Vincent item gives 12.5". The Vincent kicker cleared the folding rearset footpeg, but was in a poor resting position for riding, most painful after a short while. I rode the bike with the Vincent kicker on there for a couple thousand miles and was relieved to replace it with the Honda item The Honda kicker tucked in perfectly out of the way when riding and gave enough leverage for me to start the 998 8 to one temporary engine. For the large High compression engine, it remains to be seen as to what will be needed to roll it over. Glen [/QUOTE]
