CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DESIGN
While all installations require a 12 volt battery (YTX-20), it is possible to retain your 6 volt battery and 6 volt charging system. Start on 12 volts and run on 6. The 12 volt must receive overnight external recharge.
A hand-crafted stainless steel oil tank has been designed to mimic the OEM horseshoe, provide clearance and house the 12 volt battery. All clutch actuation is via cable. The rocker clutch remains but is adapted to cable; the mousetrap is not employed but can remain in place. These changes are easily undone and are considered small sacrifices for the benefits of the electric starter.
A NEW technical approach guarantees this starter to be quicker and quieter than any other! The XL style starter motor is pre engaged with the mating gear. The pinion gear never hunts a tooth and cannot gnarl, bang, or crunch. The factory mainshaft starter clutch is cleverly employed to isolate the power transfer.
Convert with No Modifications
Models prior to 1965 can be converted with absolutely no modifications to primary drive, chassis, or sheet metal. The entire system can be easily removed without a trace to restore originality
What it Costs
The total investment in the RSES parts and all the necessary peripherals will be less than $2,400. The RSES is adaptable to models through 1979 to replace parts that were lost during the chopper era.
