yes the kick start does clear everything. the down tube is stock xl175 and the muffler is actually a grafted on SL350 muffler. (That way when I got it.) I have a bassini High pipe for it also but I just like the looks of the scrambler exhaust.
And I used a 2x2" piece of square tube with the top cut out to fit the frame for the upper frame mount and I have two cut out top mounts to fab and then bolt on. Getting all my missing pieces ordered, and when I get a full weekend to work in the shop I should be able to knock out the rest.
I have a 7" headlight to add to it to replace the stock 6" 6v unit. A little brighter and replacement bulbs are easy to find vs a vintage bulb.
as it will be a daily driver if things work out I have to think of these things.
Suggestions are welcome as all comments.
Thanks
Glenn
