Yes, it's the RGM one as stated by others. I bought it for my Dommie Cafe Racer but it didn't work with the rear sets so I fitted it to the Commando.
The downside to this kickstart is that it's quite a high reach up for the foot for a kick when sat astride the bike for me (32 inch inside leg).

Thanks I'll be ordering that kicker soon . The stock kicker feels wrong and looks weird at least to me, looking forward to trying the RGM kicker .

Bonus now I know of another source for parts your post is the first I've seen mention RGM so thanks again!
 
Does anyone have any info on this large Norton sign? It appeared to be made of cardboard and double sided. It’s large.
I’d like to find one or have one made single sided. Thank you for your help.

A very sharp bike Vidar. I've been thinking about a screen for some longer trips in the summer. Which do you have, how is it attached, do you notice any benefit?

Thanks.
 
I’ve not experienced it yet, but I’m eager to see how it feels as and when I ever get it out of the garage again. So it will reduce horsepower and top end speed etc. that’s really no longer a concern to me - ease of use and tractability are all I want. If I later find I really don’t like it then I’ll just change again. No biggy.

TBH it was the on/off 'enrichment' device that I couldn't live with. Suits many, I know, but I just found it a royal PITA....

Yes, I see what you mean. So far I’ve solely started it twice from cold and I then realised the lever could be set halfway or so while it warmed up. Ideally it needs a good bit of fine weather and a run.

When I bought the cable conversion for my MK2 amals on my t140 e I was surprised you could use partial choke with an enricher
I'd assumed it was either on or off

I’ll double check, maybe tomorrow when I’ll be clearing the garage and can get to it.

Yes, of course. Usually full on to start, immediately to 1/2 once it fires up, then as soon as it can take throttle blips without stumbling, lift slides full off.

Apologies, but are we at cross purposes here? I thought the discussion was Mikuni/Amal Mk2... Neither of which have 'choke slides' (As opposed to the 'throttle slides'), I believe??
