CT70 Kickstart Lever Teardown and Chinese Headlight Bucket Mod

So the kicker comes as an assembly, but it seems it could be torn down and powdercoated.


How is the question. I had to call in Lummy on this one. It's kind of like a valve spring and keeper, but not really. Push down the washer(9) and work out the circlip(12).


This was one try that didn't work out. The washer went down, but getting at the circlip doesn't work.


Simple way saves the day.


Here's the Chinese bucket sold as "does not fit the headlight but can be made to work." It definitely does not fit out of the box.


Dremel and patience.


A little work on the trim piece, too.


Finally fits, so now I have to make the bucket match the bike.
