No, I've never used rearsets on my Commando as I find the original footrest position ok (just about).

Jackman, when looking at rearsets, notice where they sit with the triangle of the Z plate of the foot perg arm mount.
Most rear sets use the rear hole of the three, notice the NYC has a bracket that pushes them further rearward, the Hydes are in front of the triangle, Norvil mounts in the center of the triangle.

Never used that position but it will reduce the arc the lever can move through. You can move your own kickstart to that position just as it is and try it out.
Excellent idea ! Awesome
Here it is in the position for test .
Didn’t feel bad at all I would like the kicker to sit higher but I think this is doable .
Thanks that was an awesome idea

The stock NYN shift lever poistion is too close to the folding kick start knuckle, and leaves a cramped toe position. I ended up shifting too far out on the toe of my boot.The folding kicker will make it worse, it will fold into the lever and be stuck out in the open, the reason the NYC are further back is to move the gear shift lever out of the way of the folding kickstart.
I think these are way better suited to race bikes, with no kicker.

As I copied the layout I moved the rest just a few more mm back, shortened the shift lever and move the toe part of the lever further out to get around that issue. Other than the moving the rest back you can do the same tricks.

I had two different sets of plates made to move the peg position back. I didnt really find a comfortable position for me.
Also, I found the geometry of the brake lever to be less than ideal for a street bike. Stopping power with the lever was noticeably less than with other rear set levers I have had. Madass' lever is the best I have used in this regard.
