It sure is; the special nuts for retaining the flywheel are still available on the offchance you might need them? They're often butchered due to not using the special tools.

Tip: the footrest rubber from pretty much any Harley fits the kickstart pedal if you cut a hole in the blanked off end. I've never seen an NF with a rubber fitted for some reason.

 ;D As we all know, you could kickstart an NF barefoot without issues, and carpet slippers are also a possibility. I have started mine by hand.
However, the fact remains that the kicker has a flange for a rubber, and it looks better with one fitted.
IMHO of course....  ::)

Always an exception to prove the rule Bruno...
Is it a Guzzi one, or something else?

I've had a lot of Guzzis,but never had one with a kickstart before so don't know if it's a Guzzi one!.It's quite slim and ribbed along it's length.
