Converting to an electric start?

Would it be possible to convert a '77 Electra from a pull-start to an electric start? I know that the motor has a place for the starter to bolt on, and my flywheel has a ring gear for a starter motor already on it... my concern is how hard it would be to find a starter, and how much electrical modification would be required.

You would need to change the regulator and add a battery and the additional wiring for the starter. You may have to change the key switch too.
