The heat from a two stroke pipe, especially the center to rear section, is a non-issue to the shock. Look at all the four strokes today and how close the super hot headers come to the shock. Plus, this shock is mounted outboard.
The ignition cover looks very large, wonder if the flywheel is too.
No kicker is the same phiosophy that Cannondale had. New 'Bergs may be minus kickstart too, not sure off hand. Worked fine on the 'Dale. I would hope that the estart system is designed into the primary in the oil bath, not a dry add on like the GG and KTM.
