... of a decompressor or valve lifter on a parallel twin. Why do you think that's what it is?

I have never seen a Commando with a decompression lever - that doesn’t mean they don’t exist . Forgive me for asking but are you possibly confusing the air slide (choke ) lever for a compression release ? Can you post pictures?

If it is a decompression device ,I WANT ONE!, old age and some spinal damage makes kicking over a 99 painfull.
