77 flh kickstart install
Need some help here. Got a kickstart kit from drag specialties for Christmas. Part number DS-241027. Installed the kit but now my electric starter won't engage. It just "clicks". Battery is charged. What did I do wrong or miss? As you may have guessed the kit came with zero instructions so I used my service manual.

I just added a kicker to my 76 FLH a few months ago. I agree that a little bit of instructions would go a long way. It's not too difficult to figure out, but my kit came with extra parts. It was toughest to determine what to use and what to leave out. One or two parts, I still don't know what they were for.
It works perfectly.

The recent kits I've seen come with two oil deflectors and two bumper plates. In late 78 they changed the bumper plate and in 80 they changed the deflector. The oil deflector mounts to the retainer plate and sits over the starter clutch. The bumper is installed at the 5 o'clock position to protect the case from the pin on the starter crank gear.

I installed a kicker on 74-74 from Drag Specialties in late summer early fall and had no issues at all. I removed my battery box for better access to everything, so perhaps you don't have a good ground or loose connections somewhere. Should not have anything to do with the e-start other than that.
