Kick start only

This is awesome!

Does it sandwich under a standard cover?

Do you have any other photos of it?

Just kickstart, no battery or any other electrics apart from kill switch.

I'm using a small total loss battery for horn and brake light which is needed for our yearly MOT.

Near £500 though.

It looks like they have a "race alternator" that can be used with it, likely another $600, but very cool..

Yes! it will sandwich under the std cover for the sleeper look.
The race alternator they do is the same price and mounts exactly the same but you can only have one or the other fitted not both.

They do kits for other bikes and maybe one-offs.
They make each one to order so it takes a few weeks or months to get one once ordered.

Way back in 1981 I had a magneto off a lawn tractor that was used on an old Bonneville.The video here is using a new one that looks pretty cool...Russ

i am doing the same thing here......

i used a small capacitor that i got for 10 bucks at a local race/dyno shop....

left regulator in.....

then stripped the starter internals... and replaced the whole middle cylinder of the starter with a spray pack can.
i had no idea you can get starter bungs/plugs though....
where could one aquire this??

i weighed the battery and that alone was 5kg....
i think im at about 24kgs lighter now....

ps i believe you can only run the capacitor if u have a newer model....with the alternator....as opposed to points. (mine is an 83)

Where can I get a capacitor without resorting to the interenet?

There won't be a brick and mortar store you can walk into, at least not that I know of, for a capacitor that size.

It is best to get something like that from a reputable source since parts counterfeiting is a common practice of China/Asia, especially on Ebay.

I use MCM and Newark which are divisions of Premier Farnell.

MCM 1 888 235 4692
Newark 1 800 463 9275 Newark used to require a tax ID to get an account.

Yep no electric suppply store around South KC had anything like that. i ordered a 12000uf 50v cap from digitech though that seems like it should get the job done. Thanks a lot! this is gonna clear up a lot of space and weight.
