you keep your electric starter. The kicker just helps as a back up when the battery is too low for the electric motor to spin it over.
I removed the VOES system and stock elec ignition and put points in mine (i prefer em for some reason).
I bought the heavy duty kit from W&W cycles in Germany and its a little more involved than the cheap ebay kits, you need to remove the bearing trap door and bearings / retainer clips to get the new thicker bearing trapdoor on. I also had to slightly ream the inside of the kicker cover to allow for the clutch pulley mechanism to fully rotate and engage. Wasn't too much work but not a simple bolt on.
However I use the kicker a lot and it is great, works well with the points ignition and its never slipped on me yet.
