Different Kickstarts ?

[LOUD MOUSE]

I understand Lee but that isn't a CB72/77 kick lever. ..............lm

I'll be darned...another mystery about my ol' bike...wonder what model bike that skinny lever was made to fit, a 160? Another "blame it on the Honda shop," I suppose, they did all the maintenance and repairs for me back then. I'd just wreck it, get them to fix it, and ride, ride, ride.

I appreciate you pointing this out LM. When I think I have the answer to a question I sometimes feel compelled to share what I (think) I know, but I really don't want to be passing on bad info here on the forum.

Thanks, Lee

Thanks All

The photos Lee posted look like the ones I have so must have acquired the
same "wrong" kickstart .. wonder what they are off ? When you look at them from the
back you can see that the arm of the CB72/77 one starts beside the splines, whereas the
other one starts at the end of the splines i.e. closer to the engine cases by about 1/4".

Anyway, I've found a slightly tired one and will fit a decent pedal part to that once I've
made something up to compress the spring while the cicrlip goes in.

cheers
