MK III Clarification + convert to kick start

I'm working on the exact same idea. I welded up the starter mount on an eBay find. Had a lot of trouble with small impurities creating pinholes. I got most of them wroked out, but am planning on painting silver like original and hopefully that will seal 'em up. Maybe a bit of JB Weld too... Looking forward to the weight reduction and getting rid of the clutter in that part of the frame.

Who's laughin, that's the best idea I've heard of yet.

They do look great with the wart removed. Nice work guys.

You know you can fit a Triumph ignition cover there with minimum fuss. Kinda retains the Brit bits feel...

Hey 737captain, I'm going to hang on to my e-start bits just incase I develop knee problems when I'm older.

slimslowslider, that's the look I'm after! I'll have to keep an eye out for a spare inner case. Having that hump there when you're running a starter is one thing but with the starter gone it looks like an unwanted wart.

Thank you. Good luck with your conversion.
