Kick starter arm doesn't clear foot rest.

[ishall]

I need about an additional 1/4 inch of clearance for my kick start lever to clear my foot peg. I have a 1973 Yamaha TX650. The area of resistance is nearer the connecting bolt so heating and giving additional bent there could be problematic. Is there a replacement part or extension that would work? I'd appreciate any ideas.

I typed Kick starter lever to clear pegs and this is what came up:

I bought a kicker for an RD400. It's smaller, but bent out perfect.
