I'll ask Mick Ofield, he designed them. I am guessing with my limited "not there in the day" knowledge , no.
 
I* would suggest it was Gus Kuhn who ordered them. Norton wouldn't have done a special for them unless they had. there was no love lost between them because the Gus Kuhn team used to regularly thrash the factory team. They even paid retail for their race parts !
 
MR. Ofield said the factory would have never done that , but a dealer could anything he wanted
 
There is an ad for a silver Gus Kuhn JPN kit for a mk3 on the FB Commando page now

I took this picture in 1978 on the Isle of Man. Obviously not standard but sort relevant.
 
I notice that there are no rearsets included in this MK3 labeled kit. Not sure how well that would work with stock foot pegs on a Mk3 with the fairing lowers.
 
Thanks for the feedback. Received the bike last week and the Gus Kuhn connection makes sense and visually is pretty close to the kit for sale (FB Commando page).

Are you saying you bought a used kit, and it took 2 years to get it? :oops:
 
Bit late perhaps...

I bought, and still have, replica JPN bodywork in yellow from Gus Kuhn Motors in Stockwell in 1979-ish. They did lots of colours, colour is in the gelcoat; my mate had one in black. The brackets supplied by Kuhn were rubbish.

Yep, I've got 2 of them. in the end I put a "Norvil" fairing on my Kuhn road bike. My (Sprint) JPN brackets are far superior
