Battery-less system for an Aero 50?

I saw a picture of an Aero 50 with a kickstart here:

Does anyone know if I can get one for an 85? I want to ditch my electric start and starter motor for simplicity on my chopper project.

Does anyone know if it's possible to run the lights and stuff off the generator and run without a battery? I'm having a hard time deciding where to put the battery and it would be nice to be able to ditch it altogether.

So all your lights and electrics work without a battery? How did you wire it up?

if you run it without a battery -even a dead one you damage the rectifier- it acts as a buffer to keep the voltage somewhat stabilized!
without it you spike the rectifier

Screw it, I'll just find a place for the battery.

Does anyone know about the kickstart thing?

You can get a battery from checker for $40 bucks. If I can find a way to kickstart an aero, my starter motor will be up for grabs.

so want a kickstarter? I would think all you would need to do is get the complete cover with gear and he front drive face with the teeth on it in order to use a kick starter? - I thought all honda's had a kickstarter?
You could just use a small 12 battery - the smaller the better for you and since you dont want a electric starter you dont need the cca, you could also use a battery eliminator- their on ebay, again this is a just a big/bunch of capictors to keep the voltage from spiking!

My Aero has no kickstarter:

Will a kickstart from a se50 fit? Are there kickstarters on other years that would fit? Anybody have one?[/url]

I dont think that's the original motor/cover on there, all aeros where supposed to be black,just like the elite -87
I think you should not have a problem putting the se cover on,becasue that is the same motor as the aero.
You need to make sure that the front drive face-the one hte starter motor engages has the teeth on the inside as the gear in the coer spins out and engages the driveface!

Actually, the color seems right. The frame is silver too, so it would look wierd to have a black engine in it. Also, the aero I posted in the link has a silver cover, but with a kickstarter.

Is that an '83 or '84 Aero?

85 I think. I could be wrong.

I just looked up the VIN, it's an 85.
