Default No 1986 FXEF?

Yea.. I live under a rock. I just realized there was no FXEF in 1986, Only Evo 4-Speed was the FXWG,.
So, In my feeble mind.. the Evo FXEF is more a rarity than the FXWG!!! Now, Did they come Sans Kick Start??

I know that the FXWG from '85 and '86 had a Kick Starter on the 4-speed... But Have yet to see an Original FXEF, with the Kicker.. Odd But... My Google Foo is Weak!!!

when I got the bike it had an fl style front end on it.
Took it all off and replaced the fork tubes.
it was titled as an 85 fxef.
may have had a kicker installed along with the wideglide front-end.
Who knows what was done to that poor bike..
I replaced all i could stand and then traded it on an 02 wideglide.
that was my first and last classic bike. I would rather ride than have to work on them all the time

I had a 1980/80 FXEF. Came without a kicker. I bolted one on one evening.
