Hand held electric starter
RoostDaddy:
Others are using the remote starter from RDZ. Eliminates using big batteries and a cart. These are actually quite nice too.

My rear sets will not give me enough throw/clearance to kick start the bike normally. And even if I could, being in full leathers would not be fun attempting to do so.

I was wondering how you were going to start your bike with the fairings and rear sets. Do you think you will be able to start it with the kickstarter at all, or will you only be able to start it with the external starter?

I received an email yesterday that the Panthera Kx500 starters will be ready in about two weeks. I don't have a problem kicking mine but after long hot days I think it will be nice. My 500 had been left in the corner of garage collecting dust on trail ride days until I got Larry's decompression mod. Hoping this keeps me going 20 more years.

If I unbolted the rear sets (2 bolts), then I could kick start it but what a pain that would be every time I needed to. I thought about using a roll starter that spins the rear wheel but those are very costly ($700-800). thinking one of these electric hand held units are the way to go.

Looks like a beast! would be nice to have a handheld unit with the battery on it. $650 is a lot of coin though. the pingel was was about $200 cheaper. I could deal with some battery cables for that! LOL
