    I have one kickstart assembly in the parts pile. From a 78e, just what goes behind the clutch cover. Do not have the kick lever. $20 includes ship in continental USA. andreas

      On many occasions, prior to exorcising its evils, I had to resort to push starting Diablo when her battery didn't have enough juice to be able to crank the engine with the electric start. Frankly (and Suesly ) I was surprised at how easy it was and, what little effort was needed to perform the task, especially considering the size and weight of the XSive one . (Note: apology for politically incorrect reference to her size & weight .) A kick starter would have been quite beneficial. (Hmmmm - would 'kick starting' her be considered as being abusive )

        I think it's size is what makes it pretty easy to do. Once you get the beast moving a bit the momentum is enough to turn over the engine.
