I have had 3 unbroken ones (one NOS) and know of 2 more that aren't broken, in the last 25 years ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Kick start lever, early , with clamp slot up as pictured in the parts book. Except for Mutt I would bet you have never seen one because they were poorly designed and almost all broke at the proximal end. The replacement by Harley has a heavier proximal shaft boss and slot is down. It took 5 yrs to find one to copy and one year to make them. The originals were malleable iron, The copy is 4140 steel. They look the same but will not break. I made 51 of them and that may last 50 years ?? Duane Taylor |
