[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 123631, member: 433"] If you are using a commando box with a standard clutch[not diaphragm] change the little clutch operating lever under the cover. The old clutches need lesser lift und using the clutch will be a lot lighter. Also as parts are likely to be mixed after so many years, look out for a box where the kickstart spring is held on with a hook on a post in the inner cover. Stay away from cheap reproduction kickstarts they are not worth the money and ruin the splines of a good kickstart shaft. Also change the little ratched tang fitted to the kickstart shaft for a new one to give you peace of mind. If you intend to use rear sets do not use the opposite direction camplate and just reverse the kickstart. If you want the kickstart in a comfortable position you always engage first gear when kicking the bike. This happens when you fit a commando kicker to clear the exhaust pipe and silencer, not sure about a 88,99 or Atlas kickstart. Just my five pennies worth Bernd [/QUOTE]
