We owned a 1981 Honda Twinstar for over twenty years. It had both electric and kick starters. Aside from early on when I tried the kickstarter just to see if it worked, I doubt I kickstarted it more than half a dozen times. And on that bike, the kickstart could be done literally by hand. Why would one want to replace a perfectly good electric starter with a Kick-A-Matic? Just to prove it can be done? "Here - hold my beer and watch this."
If you really want a motorcycle with a kick starter, visit your friendly local Royal Enfield dealer. The line of Royal Enfields, all single-cylinder 500s, comes equipped with both electric and kick starters. It's a heck of a lot easier just to buy a bike with a kick starter than to try to jury-rig one onto a bike never engineered to have one.
