Default 1961 flh

So my father in-law gave me his heavily modified 1961 Panhead, rides like ****, brakes barely work but that doesn't bother me, the problem is that it is kick start only and my knee is trashed from a bike accident 8 years ago.
What does it take to modify this bike to an electric start.
