Kicker Pedal ID Help

[clanky]

Hello....I know this isn't an accessory, but wasn't sure where else to put it. I have this kicker pedal that doesn't look like a Harley pedal and was wondering if any of your guys might be able to ID it? Thanks much.

Not an expert on pedals but that looks as HD as you can get. Missing the outer cover to hide the center stem nut. Jerry

Agree with Jerry 100%, definitely H-D, just missing the end cover. (shown in 2nd picture). Correct spring, and bushing etc.

I just assumed it wasn't H-D, I guess because of the lack of an end cover, it looks like it never had one. Thanks so much for the help.

The end cover didn't appear until 1929
It looks like a real nice 1916 to 1928 pedal to me

What about the opposite (kick arm) side where the studs don't come through and no nut?

[Tommo]

Thats something I didn't notice Bob so perhaps it's aftermarket.
I still say the end caps didn't appear until 1929

The pedal rubbers had tapered ends until abouit 1934, and a cadmium centre spacer in the 1930s, so that one looks more 1940s onwards to me. Harley used the bicycle pedal style from 1916 until the cheaper lollipop style came out in 1963. If we want to get into the undergrowth, the flat spring washer has a 1930 part number and the pedal pin bushing a 1931 part number. This means the earlier pedal pins have a slightly smaller bolt hole.Part number remained 2091-16 despite several changes, as the lollipop style was intended as a spare part replacement for the bicycle type.

Are you sure that’s not an Indian pedal? I had thought that the Indian pedals had the rivets on the crank side and the Harley’s had the nuts on the crank side…

Looking at Greers catalog the diagram looks like the rivets (actually look like PEM studs) on an Indian pedal.

Just for reference; this is a 1916 Harley-Davidson single block step starter pedal. It's not very friendly so I assume it was replaced at some point in 1916 with the bicycle type.

Thanks Eric, that shows the tapered rubber and the way Harley kept the same part number for later versions of the same part.
