Re: Foldable kickstart lever for Burman GB
Reproduction Norton Commando kick start might work. It wouldn't be hard to MacGyver splines from burman kick start onto AMC one if necessary.

Fitted to my AMC box. I had to machine the gearbox side of the lever to facilitate correct meshing of the inner teeth .
Interestingly, the original kick start should have had the same procedure as it has slipped on the shaft and munched the inner splines.

I don't recall the fixed lever being that much of a problem but only had the Burman box in for a couple of thousand miles. Putting it back in when I get the engine fixed over winter, so may find out!

Re: Foldable kickstart lever for Burman GB
I found that if the rest position of the fixed kickstart was too 'upright', I sometimes found my right leg caught between the kickstart on my calf and the footrest on my shin when moving off from a standstill. Moving the kickstart back a couple of splines on the shaft sorted it out.56G80S wrote:I don't recall the fixed lever being that much of a problem but only had the Burman box in for a couple of thousand miles.
