is there any way I can fit an electric start to my kick start only 500 bullet indian import 2000

Do not see why not.
Have a look at Mr H's catalogue & the parts lists where you should find all the necessary bits & pieces.
Make a list, price it, add VAT and carriage, tot it up and then pick yourself up off the deck.

Might save a few bob if you can get good second-hand parts, check out our hosts' used parts section, or sell your K/S Bullet and just buy the 4 speed electric start version, which might actually be easier. There's one on ebay for £1,710 at the moment, plus a Sixty-5, some Electra-X models and loads of EFI Bullets.

Easy option.Sell your bike and buy an electric start model.It ain't rocket science.

Yes, cheaper to get an ES model.

To try to answer the question [;-)]. No. Not a practical modification to convert to electric start. The parts required to be changed are extensive - including the crankshaft, crankcases and goodness what else.

... also primary chaincases, engine sprocket, alternator(?), battery, battery box, starter relay/solenoid, wiring loom, switchgear, rocker oil feed pipe, for some reason the factory changed the E/S heads with different rocker oil feed banjos as well, etc...



Don't forget a set of these:

po pott, you could explore going down the belt primary drive route with a starter ring on the clutch cage. (There are several kits on the market for old Brit bikes and old kick start Hardly Dangerous's.)

Hold everything!!! Have a look here, scroll down to the third row, and the third item along. Haven't the faintest idea if it is any good, or how much they want for it.
