TTR with both kick and el-start

What is the best way (if possible at all) - to supply a TT600R with a battery and starter motor, or to supply an TT600RE with a kick starter arm?

adding a kickstarter to an E-start TT is a lot easier.

OK, let's say I get an E engine, then is there any "kick starter kit" available from any supplier?

In short, how can it be done? Please explain. Thanks

this page (in german but you can probably babelfish it to death.. or.. paging klaus to the courtesy phone) outlines the procedure to retrofit a kickstart to a late model XT, it would be the same on a TTre except you wouldnt need to machine the clutch cover just need to remove the rubber plug
