Just looking at the bottom folding kickstarter part number 570242 and I am wondering if when folded out does it come out any wider than the standard kicker. I'm building a cafe racer and need to clear the rearset gearshifter. I can extend the existing kicker out wider but the folding one would look much better tucked away. Anybody have any measurements of the offset of the folding one? Also I'm thinking of bringing the neutral finder up as a short hand shift because it is too hard to lift your foot from the rearset position. Any thoughts on this one?

Hi Norm Here is a Picture, I hope….





The offset is 3 1/4 inch at top & 2 ½ at bottom from end of Kickstart shaft.

If you are anywhere near Gloucestershire I could pop it up to you to try.....

Works for me Freddy - lovely picture

Thanks Freddy, pic is excellent and so is the kicker. Thanks for the offer of a look but Aus is a bit far to just slip over. Thanks again
