THOSE ARE SWEET!!!!

I had no idea Honda did that so many years ago...  I wonder why it never caught on, seems like a solution to the clutch impaired...

Also I wanted to ask, is there a "booster" in the starter?

I took the bike to the shop and replaced what the guy called the "booster."  Also asked him to do the wheel bearings.  He said this is what was causing the bike to appear to have a dead battery.  He came to this conclusion by tapping the side of the starter with a rubber mallet while holding the starter button.  It sounded like the starter wanted to work, but would quickly die...
