Depending on the kicker kit Jims Machine make a kicker shaft that is 3/4" longer , moves the arm out away from the pipes been using them for years .

so then all non kicker pipes would work????I don't use my kick start anymore due to cam timing as well as compression but without it the bike looks odd

I'm a shade under 12-1 compression in mine , I have to use the kicker regular even with the Big ***** or the Ultima beefy starter and a 500CCA battery . I'm wondering why your having issues honestly , all the kicker kits I've installed on 5 speeds stick way the hell out away from the side of the bike anyway . I'd say a good inch or more than the 4 speeds did .

Mine is a 4 spd evo that has been hard to start since it was put together the last time.It also seems to sump a lot when you need to kick start it----------I am planning on more inches this winter so if I can get it to that point we will start over the tune

What ignition you running ? Stock is a bitch to kick and most like the cranes have a 2 rev limiter you have to disable to get a kicker to work properly . I run the high end stainless bearing advance unit and the Dyna S single fire in most builds with a kicker , proper carb , cam & tune they can be a one kick bike with those , my 93" shovel @ just under 12-1 will usually do the second kick like clockwork .

its got some generic that 2 wheelers recommends for ignition but I can't remebr what it was other than its what there favorite was to sell but no rev limiter .I had the top end redone after it suffered from a missed gear and a bent valve or two ever since it hasn't been right.I should of towed it home on a trailer but I got lazy and had a dealer fix it.The one thing is the kid was young and has turned into one heck of a twin cam power guy
