electric start for NF ?

Hi all,I am new to this group and don't as yet own an NF,a very
good friend is going to sell me his letter this year or early
next year. (I will be bringing it back from france,where it has
been for most of its life) As I age my !000s is becoming a bit
of a handful to lug around ,the garage on and off the stands
etc,although riding it is lovely, so the idea of the NF is a
kind of downsize. The only thing that concerns me is the lack of
electric start, having had one for the last 30 years,I have kind
of got used to it.Is fitting one to an NF something people do,
and if so ,how easy/hard is it?
Thanks in anticipation.
Séan .

Welcome Sean. Fitting an electric start isn’t difficult if you
can find the correct Bosch Dynastart (can be found, but
expensive). You will need a smaller pulley too. Your best bet is
to search this forum for Dynastart: you will find several posts
on the subject.
The other side of the coin is that, although the Dynastart is
mildly entertaining, with its silent starting, it’s really not
necessary. The NF is very easy to start with the kickstart, and
will start first kick every time unless something is wrong.

I have just acquired my first NF, a '74 military version after
moving on my very trusty BMW R65.
It has the dynastart fitted, which the previous owner had
purchased.
During a chat whilst we were waiting for the BACS to conclude,
we discussed the technique of starting the NF.
He haf fitted the Dynastart when he first got the bike and
quickly realised that the expense was unnecessary.
Having had the bike for a couple of weeks or so and gradually
going through adjustments and and personal preferences I too
realised the electric start is completely redundant. The bike
starts so easily via the kick start that the handlebar button
just takes up room better suited to a mirror!
My advice, don't. Save your cash for other things.
