Anyone know if an old Harley style bycycle pedal kicker will bolt up on a commando. I was looking at a brass one that would look nice if it will fit.

Don't feel bad Wadep77. I'm tired of sore arches too. I'm in the middle of mucking something up. If it works, I'll post pics. If yours works, you do the same.

Remember, God made Nortons to kick, that's why he gave us TWO legs.

I am VERY interested in this, keep me posted please.

I think the crude bycycle peddle Harley kicker is the worse looking piece of bulky excess on them. I'm holding out for compression releases. In a pinch could just weld a bicycle peddle on the factory swivel peg and sounds like a neat version might have a decent market. I don't like Norton round rubber coming off almost every kick either though, hm. Naw too ugly.

C'mon you guys, what's the big deal unless your injured. RGM sells a longer one too.

Gday Steve, your quote "I'm holding out for compression releases" What do you have in mind here?? Large 2 smoke chainsaws have a decompression button to assist rope start, wondering if these could be adapted?

My stock kicker is fine. I just wanna add some brass accents after I get my house of kolor paint done. Goining cafe racer with a few bobber parts maybe.

There's plenty of brass accents on this bobber.

Compression releases are totally imaginary at this time. Has anyone noticed that the kick peg swings about exactly in line past the foot peg of many rear sets, so a cleaver fella might remove the rear set peg and make a quick release fastener to grab the kick peg after its started. I like this for a wider foot padder.

I have found a fabricator on the north-west side of Houston, Texas that is going to make me a "Popsicle-style" one that will go onto my MKIII lever (but it ain't cheap!!).

Now I am looking for brass valve-stem-caps.

Obviously we want pics, price, and source when done.

So far this is the top-contender http://hippykiller.com/store.html (scroll about 1/4 of the way down, it's on the right-hand-side of the screen), he says that he can get it onto my MKIII lever semi-cheaply.

so that brass kicker from hippy killer won't fit without modifying it? Also if you find brass rocker bolts or any brass nuts or bolts that work on covers let me know.

I've been thinking the same thing on my cafe build . Right now I have some polished brass exhaust nuts that really made me think some other brass accents would really give it a cool look. I'd be interested in seeing what else we couldn't come up with.
