I've had this crazy idea of wanting to kickstart a new harley,but it's just an idea so far. Any of u fellas have any input on these? ever tried one or all in all.. what would ur opinion be on getting one if u could?
yea,I had forseen that, but since I run a 1995fatboy carbed, I started from there thiking from there, but thnx forthe input now I'm 100% certain not toconsider a new injected model for a project containing akickstart
Nothing like the ole kickers.. specially with advance on the bars...
I still have the 2''scar on the inside of my right ankle, helping a co-worker try to fire his back in the early 70's, Yea, I really miss that, like a 4 inch pimple on my A$$.
WHY? That's why they came out with ELECTRIC START so you didnt have to work so hard. Some times my SHOVEL gets really moody. While im SWEATING AWAY TRYING to start it, my friends are yelling C'MON LETS GO!!! IT LOOKS "COOL" + "MACHO" but its not PRACTICAL ANYMORE!
Can I put a front bumper crank start on my '06 Silverado??
If hand cranking a pick-up was cool that may be a good idea, but since it isn't, well, you get the idea. Kick starting a motorcycle OTOH, is very cool.
If you mean do I like the look of a kicker ? then yes.
If you mean do I want to kick start my bike every time ? Then no.
if you mean would I like to be able to kick start if I had to ? Then yes.
