Will a B52 Kickstart Lever fit a CP Gearbox?

Post by Bob PA USA »

Terry Weedy sells a replacement lever for a B52 box. I have a 1948 AJS Model 18 based trials bike with a CP gearbox. Does anyone know whether Terry's lever will work on my bike? - Thanks!

Says in their ad that all Burman k/starts to '56 had same 11/16ths spline and so should be OK. No idea if that's true, nor about variations in shape, clearance over ex pipes etc etc, but but why not measure yours and ask Mr Weedy what the dimensions are on his?

Thanks gents. That is good to know. The next concern is whether there is clearance above the kickstart lever for the folding geometry. From the few photos I could find, it appears that there is not.
