Hi Scott, I believe I have one of those, lacking some chrome but structurally OK. i'll brave the snow to rummage around in the garage...
Regards, Mark.

That's not an early kickstart, it looks like one from a K2 to me.
Early Strada kick starts have a rotating top rather than rotate at the bottom.

That knuckle is certainly the same as on my 1983K but I can't confirm the lever as mine's from a Honda (apparently).
Cheers,
Dom

Yes, whilst I cant check the dimensions its the same shape/pivot as the kickstart on my K2.
