From what I understand, the Baja e-start kit is not as successful as people hoped, and I heard (it may just be a rumour) that they are stopping selling it? It is pretty simple and straightforward (if a little ugly), but as it has no reduction gear you need to use the decompressor to start it, and you need a machine press to fit the ring gear etc. Not really DIY.
I've also heard the Joe Racer kit is not 100% - but again, this is only hearsay...
What I do know is that I have the Boechat kit on mine (they are a Swiss company, but distributed by XR Stuff in the UK) and that kit works very well - just like a regular electric start bike! I repositioned the battery on a custom mount above the left crankcase as I have the Acerbis safari tank fitted, and it tucks in there very nicely, and keeps the weight low.
Whatever you do, you will need a higher output stator/generator and a suitable (larger) regulator rectifier - the battery comes with the e-start kit.
Hope that helps,
