Hi
Can in ask what kickstart options will fit when using "Madass" rear sets.... would like to use the RGM T160 style longer lever, but i don't thin this will fit??

Thank you

I believe Ken has experimented with Don's rearsets and the folding lever with no success.

I use Don's rearsets with a MKIII lever and have no issues.

Many Thanks Acadian,
So without checking will the Mk 3 lever fit Pre Mk3 kick start shaft?
Does the Madass kit remove the need to use the original Z plates, or are these something you have had made up as you have high mounted exhausts??

The kick start lever is backwards compatible AFAIK. My Z plates are custom, Don's rear sets still require a mounting point relative to the stock footrest hanger.
 
I use my rearsets which are Dunstall replicas. I'm certain they were originally used with the standard
kickstart lever. I have a set on one of my bikes with the standard kickstart lever.
 
Hi Madass!

I just purchased a ‘75 MKIII Commando, and would like to purchase rear sets for it. Would you happen to have any for sale?

Thanks for the help!

I just got my Hydes set up on my MKIII and found I could get the RGM folding kick start lever to clear the Hyde foot peg. Seems just perfect.

Great pics, thanks guys..!

Will these require any drilling into the z-plates? Also, do either of you have these mounted on an Interstate? My hope is that the Hyde setup is not a full “rearset” per se but perhaps a good compromise. They appear to me to be not as far back as other rearset options, no?
 
here you can see the difference in position of foot peg on my MK3 rearsets, sorry the pic is upside down

straight Bolt-on, works great on a Interstate with low Euro bars (didn't like the setup as much on a roadster), I did some custom bushes/spacers, on the outer primary cover OEM shifter shaft and Hyde shifter pivot to remove some slop. I also shortened the front Hyde shifter leg to get less overall movement. All those things can be overlooked, see what you like first.

Agreed - bolts right on. I found the Hyde shifter leg was a poor fit on the right foot peg (it pivots on this). I plan on turning a bushing for this over the winter to tighten it up as it makes for a sloppy shift. The MKIII shift shaft needs all the help it can get.
 
and that's why I removed the kicker, it was really in the way
