I have had queries from a number of customers to ask if I am able to supply folding type kickstarters to fit upright and laydown Norton gearbox's of the 1930's-1950's? We already used to sell the more normal 'fixed' type as originally fitted to most roadgoing Norton models in the 1930's-40's (Item 0298 - but unfortunately now a long time out of stock item - see that listing for more detail), but the fixed type often gets in the way on a 'Sports' type International or cafe racer model
So in response I am now pleased to be able to supply these folding kickstarters, which have the Norton spline and a slight crank to them so they should not foul the exhaust pipe. Even more pleasing - is that these kickstarts are genuine Andover Norton items, which are of the highest quality - and we are pleased to be a supplier of their items.
As would be expected, high quality parts such as these are not cheap to manufacture, therefore the price is considerably greater than the rigid (offshore manufactured) type I also offer, but this is reflected in the more complex construction and quality of these items. I would highly recommend buying one of these in favour of the cheap and cheerful fixed type for all Nortons - including the SV/OHV/OHC . . . it is the type I will fit to my 1930's road Inter - well worth the extra cost
