Yesterday I broke the kickstart pedal overtaking a car that decided to do a no-indicator turn...
Engine is a T5, what kickstartpedals fit this quadrant?
Obviously a new T5-kickstartpedal will fit.
Does a Rally200/GS160 fit as well? Thay have a slightly different teeth arrangement to a PX125/200 and require the bespoke quadrant or they end up pointing skyward, but do they fit in the correct position on a T5-engine?
I also seem to remember fitting a Vespa Sprint 150 kickstartpedal to a friends T5 years ago, can someone confirm this?
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

As far as I remember fitting a non T5 pedal the lever sits lower than the footboards and lessens the "kick" leverage.

A GS kick start lever will fit and work fine. The splines are in the same place as the T5 lever. It gives a bit of a retro look as it has an old school curve to it.
