Default Fl exhaust headers for kick start

Looking to find either a set of true duals or crossover duals header pipes that will allow me room to fit a kickstarter on my 1974 FL.
My current crossover stock setup gets in the way as the aft header pipe too close to kicker cover.
True duals wud fix this or a set of crossover duals that are angled correct to allow room over kicker cover.
I want to keep the dual exhaust and not intending a 2 into 1 set up.
Anybody out there with what indeed or guidance where to find??
Thx
Jim

they make a kicker that is a fold out just for that reason - it folds out to kick than folds back in so its out of the way - the aftermarket duels you can use the stock kicker <> with a longer kicker shaft BUT you cant use the shelds even with that -- jz

if you look you can probably find a chrome one and cheaper -- make sure your kick shaft in the tranny has a full groove as these bolt from the top to bottom and not from the side -- still fits all shafts --

if the engine has stock compression than the black one that is a bit shorter will spin the engine over quicker when kicking it

higher compression motors the chrome one that is longer will be somewhat easyer to kick as it has mechanical advantage over the shorter one -

what one depends on your strength and the engine -- jz
