starter leaver and rear sets

[KeithB]

For those that have added rearsets, what did you do to get the starter leaver to clear the foot peg?
Looking for options.

Heat and bend. A SR500 kicker has a different bend that clears some of em.

folding foot peg

Heat and bend is what I figured on.

A SR500 kicker has a different bend

Is that what is shown in the pic?


Folding foot peg?
Well, if I had one, I wouldn't be asking this question.
But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

That is an SR in the photo.

 

[MrBillohnooo]

Yes. it is a SR500 in the pic. Not an XS650......

Thanks for the info

I'm don't know what a starter leaver is. I think you mean lever. Electric start and you don't worry about kicker clearance.

Is that SR500 piece long enough to get the leverage needed to kick over a twin?
somewhat easily
Has any one here tried it?

Folding pegs and an extended lever from MikesXS worked for me.

Yes, I have used one before on a cafe racer I built several years ago. Worked great.

Excellent news on the SR500 kick starter. I will have to find one now, and see about adapting my rear sets for fitment.
