A bunch of places I go are dirt and a couple of times I had trouble backing my bike up.
I hate asking someone to pull me backwards!!!!!!!!!!
Understood.

I just remembered reading about something in the early nineties that you flipped a switch or pressed a button and the starter would engage without starting the bike and the starter motor would act like a reverse motor. It might be a cheaper option if that is still around.

Isn't that the Honda style?

You have to remember that the starter has no oil in it so you can't use it for long until you burn your starter out.
Nor will it have much power.
And it is the Honda style.

Damn where did you find a picture of me and my horse?????????????
As for lowering the bike that far (already lowered it some) it's way harder to back up when the frame is on the ground!!!!!!

10% on $2k is $200.
Granted it ain't much compared to $2k but it's still a lot to me.
