Knucklehead electric start kit - 3/4/2008 12:38:12 PM    NC47Knucle   Posts: 10 Joined: 2/26/2008 Status: offline What companies make an electric start kit for a Knuck motor?  I found one company.  It was like $2k.  Are there any cheaper kits on the market? Post #: 1

Stroker on a regular basis you are a better man than I. Got a friend with a 93 C.I. Pan we are always waiting for him to get it going. (in reply to NC47Knucle) Post #: 5

You might look into compression releases, they help a lot on bigger high compression engines. _____________________________ You find out who your bros are when you ride a kick only bike.
