Kickstarter/Tarozzi rearset clearance

Hey guys,

Anyone have a set of folding peg Tarozzi rearsets on a KZ/Z1? I'm trying to determine if I'll lose my kickstarter my mounting the rearsets.

Thanks!

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

I have a set of folding knurled Tarozzi rearsets on my 1000. You'll get about half a sweep before the kickstarter lever hits the peg. I can still kick start my stock 1000 but I doubt you'd be able to start a bigger bore, high compression engine with half the travel.

I'm curious about this as well. Does it only hit the peg? If you could fold up the peg would it miss the rearset?(at :25) like this H2

Thanks Doug, as DSB mentioned, can you fold the peg up for clearance?

It's been a while since I tried kickstarting the bike with the peg up. I think it can be done, but sometimes the lever will catch on the return swing.
