Spyed on a photo of a 94 R100 for sale here in OZ a kickstart lever ,I know that the last of airheads were a bit of a parts-bin special but would they of dug this deep in the bin when my bike a 95R100 has starter-motor only or has it another box fitted?
Cheers mitch

Kick start retrofit kits were a dealer stock order option since R100 production.
Kick starters may have always been a dealer stock order option on (airhead) GS's.
PD kicks were USA optional, Canada fitted, Switzerland fitted, NZ optional, UK fitted ...

The kick start has been an option ever since it was taken away in 1975, in the USA.
