Just received a kickstart from ScootRS for my GP150 and fitted it no problem, it clears everything and splines are good chrome is reasonable. I does seem much better than the one fitted when I got the scooter although probably not as elegant as the original Innocenti but for £35 delivered I'm happy, I will add a pic later for reference

I've looked at the two MB ones I have and they are both stamped ScootRS. I don’t know if the ones I've had previously were the same make.

My kickstart on my SX200 is very close to the running boards.

I am thinking of replacing, who's best to go to?

Get yourself to a parts fair and have a poke about is probably the best thing.

Ditto and I like the offset stop which allows you to find the sweat spot on the splines.

I have one. They are sturdy and they give a nice big arc to kick through but, to be honest, I wouldn’t buy another as they are so ugly.

I have an Italian made SX200 one on my other scooter, bought from Cam Lam. Not cheap, if I recall right, but 8 years later it still grips the splines well and the chrome is fine.

It's very close to the running board, I have that problem. Bought a CASA replacement, it's close but not as close as the original. The hole with the splines is not drilled at 90 degrees when its fitted it leans in

My clubmate bought a casa kick start recently
The quality , fit and finish was appalling
Chroming poor and not complete / teeth cut badly / amateur welding of tab
The replacement was better but not of a quality one expects when you pay Casa prices
