Adding a kicker to an electric start is easy - just install the kit. Adding electric start to an XLCH is much more complex. Must ...

replace oil tank
install larger battery
change sprocket cover
install starter relay, solenoid, and motor
associated wireing
etc

You do not need to pull the motor out of the frame but you do need to pull the clutch and either add the starter ring gear or replace the clutch sprocket assembly [clutch basket].

I have not done this nor have i had conversations with anyone who has so this is just general info i have picked up along the way.
