Right-On, Boss ...

Most likely a kicker would be only along for the ride ...
Sure would be nice to have it when the battery takes a shit, but how often does that happen ??

[farmall]

Not often to me but dat's why I wanted the large battery capacity that oil bag offers. (Even when my Shovels were kick-only I went with stock batteries because I love me some ampacity).

I'm also curious what ball and ramp it uses since if it takes stock it takes other versions of stock like HD reduced effort ramps (spotfaced for the larger Baker throwout bearing instead of that dime-sized stock turd). Only the bearing side plate needs machining.

I used to have the McMaster-Carr number for the larger wafer bearing but can't find it at the moment and my Baker wafers are installed so not convenient to measure.

Are the Ultimas available plain? I find the chrome too flashy in that location and with a plain one I might could ball mill some horizontal grooves on the outside flat surface to break up the plain real estate and blast or peen all the major gearbox castings to match then Sharkide them so they don't get furry.

Looks to me like you'll have to run what it has...
Does look to be well designed ..

Think chrome is the only gig ..
Stripping the chrome off is doable ...

That don't look too hard to install ....



Piece of cake ...



That ^^ may take a while ..

Nice. Anywhere breakers might be advantageous can get blade breakers, nice to have if things act up on the road or while troubleshooting.

Some parts came in ...



And some didn't ... (Freaken Back-orders)

Well how bout that, I was sold the wrong kit ...

Was taking a hard look at the above kit that was ordered from Summit ..
Told the salesperson what I was wanting to do and he said this kit will meet my needs ...

Since I had the box open the other day to take a photo for the above post, got to see what I bought ...
It is a popper kit ... Push a button and the doors pops open ...
What I wanted was a Keyless door lock & unlock kit ...

Called the manufacture and had a Pow-Wow with a tech about the kit Summit sold me ..
He said that I was right about it not being able to do the job that I was after ..
Gave me a number of a kit that would meet my needs ..

Called Summit and asked if I could trade the wrong kit for the right kit ..
They sent me a shipping label to return it back to them and they would send out the right one ..
Good company to deal with but for their "Gun-ho" salespeople !! ...



Sure glad I checked out the kit the other day before I did all the work to install it and then find out it's not going to lock the doors ...

That would be like ......

With all that power, you could go in this direction...

It's a "Tim Allen" thing ....

So if I'm looking at this right the kicker spins the nut on the tranny's main shaft? If used often does that tighten the hell out of it? I ask because I want a kicker on my bike. Can the threads strip if the engine kicks back on you? And if used often will it make it harder to service the tranny later?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but all my experience is on Japanese bikes and American bikes are totally different.

[Dragstews]

All Good Questions ...

So if I'm looking at this right the kicker spins the nut on the tranny's main shaft? If used often does that tighten the hell out of it?

I see it as you do ... And that has been a wonder of mine too.
Only installed two of the Rivera kits, those boys didn't have any problems, but both those scoots had ele. starters on them ..
Most likely the kicker seen very little usage ... ??

Can the threads strip if the engine kicks back on you?

Does look like that could be a possibility ...
The Rev-Tech kits also used a design very similar that had a screw on extension to housed the starter clutch gears ..



Installed a few of those kits, they worked, but really added alot to the trans by sticking out pretty far ..

[ATTACH=CONFIG]107355[/ATTACH]

Also no problems occurred with 0 feed back from the owners ..

And if used often will it make it harder to service the tranny later?

Could be ... ??
I'm with ya, I think a one piece mainshaft with having the room for the starter clutch gear would be a better design, but that's back to a much longer trans ..



I'm not sure what to tell you, but for give it a try and see how well it works outs for ya ...

These re-pop heads don't come with the rocker arm studs or dowels ..
Tis a wee bit of a chore installing them cause they have a interference fit ...





There's one ...



On to the other head ..
Soon to load valves and pack the springs for the cam grind ..

Damn that motor is looking fine!

[Dragstews]

Thanks Man ....

Sure has taken a long while to spin her together ...

The heads and the generator are the last to do and it will be breathing fire ..
But, that won't happen till some parts for the heads comes off back order ...
All is done, carb is ready to mount on ...



Just need the parts to finish the assembly of the heads and it will be time to call the owner to come and get it ...



Looks like this corner of the Man Cave has been busy ...
