i have seen someplace on the forum a mention of a name of a manufacture of a certain kickstart but i cant find it.....does anyone know what other 'billet' kickstart fits over the OE knuckle of the RD range without spending a crazy fortune on an upgrade....i know the RD500 fits but they are nuts money.. better still has anyone got one for sale??
Thanks

Yep they dont sell them any more for that reason I suspect. They also always remind me of those dipping drinking birds... dunno why, but none of the others make me think of these lol  There are many options for kickers, YZ, Chinese cheapies off ebay, banshee billet items and many many others. I like the YZ conversion a mate did for me and also the RD500, but they are silly money now.   |

I quite like that one Jon.
What’s it off of and what’s involved making it fit?

RD/RZ/RZV500, so expensive now. can be fitted like Ive shown with OEM 250/350 knuckle or by drilling the kicker spindle and using the OEM 500 knuckle parts. Neither are 5mins work but they look good and the fact they tuck in is a nice touch.
Plenty of other much cheaper options tho, the 500 is now probably the most expensive option I'd think :/

I'll just stick with the standard LC jobbie as I'm spending waay too much money on going fast and stopping to worry about looking good too. |

The legend ones used a very short m6 bolt to clamp onto the shaft which fixed into a shallow blind hole
They had a tendency to strip the threads if overtightened and were difficult to repair
I just nip mine and thread lock it

DT125 ones look nice and short. Different fitting to spline, but maybe worth looking into as quite cheap. Maybe fit or modify to fit an LC knuckle?

My legends on the shelf too, as it started to pull the thread, fitted a converted 500 one which I really like, and used to have a 3ma fitted which was OK.

Don't blame you lol You know you'd just regret it as I'd have it repaired and stick it on one of my builds 😁 Steve |
