   * Starting July 1, 1973, there was a new design with a kick starter ratchet gear, bushing and spacer. The new 'pressed in' bushing has a Teflon coated lead bearing surface on a steel ball shell. The gear has a groove for the starter gear spring and the spacer length (and diameter) were increased to fit the new gear.

-A kick start kit was available for parts order in the -80 parts catalog for 79-80 model XLs. \\ +You can put a kick starter on a E1980 Sportster if it has a late production 79 motor. ((Hapster  of the XLFORUM)) \\ 
-It's not clear how far back it would retro but the 79-up parts books do not cover previous models. \\+A kick start kit was available for parts order in the -80 parts catalog for 79-80 model XLs. ((1979-1980 HD Parts Catalog (99451-80) pg 29)) \\ The same kit was available in the -81 parts book but it was only sold for 1979 models.

 +It's not clear if the same E79 parts were used in the kit or how far back it would retro but the 79-up parts books do not cover previous models. \\
  
 +Some early production 1980 models had the same plug hole and bushing for the kicker shaft as the 79 models had. ((Hapster  of the XLFORUM)) \\
 +We have confirmation of an early 1980 case with crankcase# (780 347 084), machined December 13, 1979 does have the hole for the kicker.

 +Some 1980 models came with a 1979 engine with 1980 numbers that match the H9 frame - (1979). \\
 +So it all depends on if you have a left over production 1979 engine installed. \\
