I remember my first big motorcycle trip, 1982; Dayton, Oh. to Daytona, on a ridgid Triumph. I couldn't do that again!

I seem to recall someone made a kick start kit for 5 speeds. Finding one today might be hard.

The bottom end on early EVOs was shovelhead with the cases machined for evo jugs...even still had the oil passage drilled to oil the shovel rockers.

5 speed kick starts are easy to find

Kino way to go on fixing up an old bike. My hat's off to you and I understand what you mean, I like wrenching myself for fun. It's a lot more fun now that I don't do it for a living anymore (that was a long time ago). My boy is starting to help me, we installed a tool box last night.

I love the old Evo's, sold my 95 Evo Road King to a buddy, and I miss it's bad a$$ sound compared to my twinkie.

If you like restoring old bikes you might like to watch some videos from hunting harleys on youtube.
