hi folks,,,,can anyone tell me if there is a longer kicker available as my 59 a10 has a kickstarter that measures 6.5 inch from middle of crank end to middle of small end, its a bitch to kick and would be better with more leverage.  any info please??

I have measured the ones on my Shooting Star, B33 and M33 all are 8 inches long

Bit late now but my '54 A10 has a 6" version, starts fine and I think an extra 2" might mean the difference of maybe folding the rear footrest and having to, so be aware at least.

cheers , I've fitted a 8 inch folding kickstart now which needed a bit of tweaking to clear the exhaust but so much better. rear pegs are always up anyway.
cheers
