What all do I need to install an electric start on a 2017 M8000 Limited? I realize that I need the kit, picked up a used longer seat. Do I need the longer gas tank too?

Harness, starter, battery, seat and tank.

Where are you located?

The kit can be installed keeping the short tank and seat, but you will have to shorten the harness and find a way to mount the battery under the hood. Alot of guys have gone with the light weight batteries

I did see a nice battery bracket that mounted on the right side. Looked good in the pics but you would need an after market muffler. I believe the Cat dealer that made it was in Camrose Alberta.
