Default 82 maxim starter??

i got a 82 yamaha maxim and i bought another bike just like it for the parts off it. kinda converted the two bike into one. but i have the engine from the parts bike i bought sitting there and i have ideas that i would like to use it to build something but i dont have a started for it and all of the wiring is ripped off the bike. i was just wondering if there is someway i could make a kickstart for it if it would work and then figure out somehow to get current to my plugs. i got the ingnition coils and everything yet so just have to figure out how to get a steady current there without a battery draining on my or something. Any ideas how i could get that engine to start with out a starter?????
