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.

[PeteF]

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.
