Kicker shaft/spring/whatnot... does this look right? '71 CB500

Does this look right? Spring --> Clip --> Washer? And is the spring correctly oriented?

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

looks good to go,that washer is often missing,make the sure the return spring cant become unhooked and with the cover of run the kicker once or twice thru its action slowly by hand.

+1 to dave.  Just had mine apart, looks identical on my 550.
" Why does anyone get offended by what someone does to their own bike? I dont get it. "

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Drink fast, drive slow, but ride it like you stole it
