Is there a conversion tutorial in here anywhere to convert a 1976 KZ400-S2 kick-start only to electric start? What parts are needed?

Preliminary investigation reveals: it might not be too hard. Here's what the electric starter mechanism is like on a '76 400:
And here's your 400S:

​​​​​​So it seems you'd need to get a starter, a starter clutch, a chain for between the two, and probably a different ignition switch, plus wiring up a starter relay (not at all hard). It looks pretty doable, just a matter of getting the parts together - good luck if you go for it!
