    So I own a bike called a DAB LM-S a custom build bike by a French company but the bike originally started off as a SWM 500 R. I’ve had some issues with the starter motor and managed to get a repair done but the guy who fixed it said it was cheap junk. So I was wondering if there is an alternative option, the husky 510 starter motors don’t seem to be readily available. I have seen some online conversations about a Ducati starter motor that fits, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me which one I should be looking for and any information on the conversion would be great.

    Getting stranded once is enough for me I’d rather fit something that’s tried and tested reliable.

    The husqvarna starters were very reliable. I would just look on eBay.
