Just ordered the kit from Norvil after a year of thinking about it. I have no trouble kicking my commando to life but every time I ride my wife's BMW I think, "WOW, this is really neat..just press a button!"
Seriously, to me it's a matter of convenience NOT just for the normal starting but if you stall it in some situation - going up a steep hill/heavy traffic, for example - the estart allows you to hit the button/ essentially keep going like nothing happened as opposed to the drill of getting the bike to the side of the road in the midst of all the honking. So I decided to pull the trigger. My only "complaint" about the unit is the alternator. I have the 3-wire 180W Lucas alternator on the bike now and will be dropping to 150W; I wish that wasn't the case. I plan to install one of the 18AH Shorai batts. I see that they want more voltage for charging than flooded batts and I'm wondering if the 150W will supply it at moderate RPM/headlight on. Anybody know?
