E-start and subframe kit, any experience out there?

[nambo-trev]

Just was on another gnarly ride and had a few hills that really got me thinking about that friggin button. I know gofasters has the kit available with the subframe and Bendix for the estart and wiring, has anyone purchased it yet and added it? Was thinking about buying the whole issue

When buying it, change the hole for thee bendix and put a bearing bushing or needle bearing in. Works much better and it is muchore reliable.

Can you clarify by what you mean when you say "change the hole for the Bendix".

Thanks

Has anyone ever modified the stock sub frame to accommodate the battery or a small lithium ion? If got access to good tig welders and what have you

In the cover where the bendix is located is only a hole in the aluminum. I changed already an 3 e-starts and it works. 2 I made with bushings and 1 with a needle bearing.

Ok boys I bought the kit from mark today at gofasters, I'm going to mod my subframe to accommodate a lighter smaller shorai battery so I'll keep you all posted. Soon she will be an estart Nambo with a full rekluse manual clutch

Has anyone tried making a bracket to strap a small shorai under the seat instead of taking up all that room in the airbox? I just picked up the shorai and it's tiny and fits quite perfect in the underside of the seat over top the airbox

Well here is my first attempt, I have much better stainless crimped tye wraps so ill likely swap the big t&b ones out for that but it actually fits really snug so I doubt it'll move around a lot. Here's a few pics with some foam padding and anti vibe foam
