That can be arranged. I will be out of commission Tuesday as I am having surgery on my shoulder but I am hoping after a couple days to atleast not be bed ridden. They say it might be longer but they also say I usually do not listen to them so we shall see. As long as I can drive or have the ole lady do the running I am sur eit will be easy to make it happen. I have shipped them down under with no problem In fact I think I rememeber it was 50 bucks to ship to Perth. Lord knows I will be bored until I can turn wrenches on my bikes at least. I plan on taking full advantage of the paid time off might even go to Daytona Bike week even if I cannot take a bike. We shall see let me know.
 
thanks a lot
I will get in touch in a few days.. get well...
 
[Edit: PLEASE look at the first post . . . updated the info there.]

I ordered one from this company with Wayne's PN but it did not fit. My Carpentered motor was not turning over. I went for an addittional battery setup and much larger cables to ground and between batteries and starting is great without the 1.4kw starter.
Will re-do if I have any future problems but the point of this post is just to say, you may not be getting all your stock starter motor can deliver if you don't give it enough juice.

Get one and hold on to it. It would be better to have one than not and need it.
 
Does the cat box and exhaust have to come off to get to the bolts to get the starter off?
Thanks,

Interesting stuff!

My project engine arrived without a starter, so I'm looking for one that doesn't cost as much as one from Hinckley!

Are any of these higher-power starters a direct fit, or do they need some machining and parts robbed from the old starter?
 
unfortunitly you do need a original starter as you need the housing to attach to motor I think Wayne Tripp explained it there somwhere early in the thread
