- York electric start kit is designed exclusively for rigid frame 4 speed models, with a splined motor shaft in a generator type motor, Knucklehead, Flathead, Panhead or Shovelhead model
- Requires a shorter oil tank and includes the oil tank base plate to allow clearance for the starter motor
- Installer can also modify original type wrap around oil tank, by removing the rear bracket and re-welding in a raised position
- The rear fender and tin inner primary must also be modified for installation
- The battery required is the Anti Gravity 12 Volt 16 Cell battery
- A 84 link primary chain is included as the chain tensioner assembly requires the longer chain
- The primary chain tensioner is mounted to the 2 rear motor mount bolts for a secure mount
- The starter motor is mounted to a cast steel housing mounted to the transmission mount plate, so it effectively drives the starter ring gear on the rear of the clutch hub
- This arrangement requires the motor sprocket to be offset 1/2" for this requirement
- Kit also includes a splined motor sprocket and spacer
- We recommend getting our oil tank and inner primary for your your application
- Fits 1954-1957 FL rigid frames
