I want to convert my sporty to electric start. Can this be done,and if so what parts are needed. I know I need a sprocket cover that is notched for the starter and a clutch drum with a starter ring gear,but what else. Any help will be welcome. I´m getting too old to keep pumping on this beast and just want to ride these day. Besides it very embarassing to run out of energy and have some young dude ask if he can start it for me at my local biker bar.
