yes, I fitted the kick-start parts and it worked fine without a manual decompressor. I used the steel kicker instead of the lighter aluminium one which has a reputation for snapping.
fitting the kick-start meant splitting the crank-cases to install the appropriate output shaft. the alternator cover needed a hole drilled/milled for the kick-shaft and its seals. I used a mix of second-hand and new parts for the 1989 Dominator.
I doubt I'll be at the Hubb and no longer have the XRL to show you, but feel free to email me on hotmail-dot-com: rich_rtw
