    In Pismo years ago my brother broke the kicker off my 86. We ended up using a Banshee kicker since that was all that was available. It worked well but was shorter than stock.

    Hmmm, that could be tough, did you try welding a new peice of metall on it? Or does it have a special taper to it? If you can weld on a new peice run your mig welder all the way up, burn right into it! If not, do the same with the old one, just take your time.

    I put a big bevel in the bottom of it, ran the mig on the highest temp and welded it solid. Holding up thus far.

    Has the kickstarter blues...

    If you can wait till you get the replacement you'd be better off. don't wanna mess up those splines.

    A little off topic here but I'm curious about that front tire your running there. I think it looks good but how does it make the trike handle. I would think its alot heavier than stock so that must help a little.

    Btw, this was the kicker on my 200x.

    It handles good. Lots of traction, don't push in the turns.

    Kicker is fixed, seems to be holding up better then any other time before.

    if it breaks again, i would have someone tig weld it. a tig has a stronger weld plus it will penatrate deeper

    sblt500r, I don't know anyone here with a tig. I really wish I did though cause that would be the best way to fix it.
