i think the oem k start is forged or cast with some kind of heat treatment. im not sure if the sheet ali would be strong enough for the k5. from what i can see the problem with the stock kicker is the stop wears at the point ware it touches the the steel part at the bottom. this causes the k start to over extend, concentrating the load on small area of the ring part causing it to snap. if i was going to make a kicker i would have a changable part the that could be swaped when it is worn. hope that makes sense

Has anyone snapped a new updated kicker yet???....I'm sure eventually it will happen,just wondering if anyone has yet.

I ordered a new one tonight. The homemade one will probably travel with me though just in case.
