Mongrel lever.jpg Mongrel levers.jpg Mongrel lever.jpg Mongrel levers.jpg So.... my buddy has this big bore 650..... new rods, fancy cam, rockers.. 5th gear upgrade.... it's a screamer.. but.. at 190 compression.. and he weights in at 185... it was a bear to kick over… the starter is...well, we all know about the infamous starter.... we entertained the idea of a Xs2 starter system.... but then... we recalled something a about a Greek geek from around year 12 who mentioned.. leverage Vs length...or something along those lines… so... I grabbed three kick levers.. visited my weld'n guru.... told him.. cut three inches out of one... add to the other one.. use the third as a guild....
Installed the new lever... and on the center stand... my 185 pound buddy can now kick start this beast. ! Now... why did the photos duplicate ? Grrrrrr
