relocating ?

[Robu]

Hi All is it possible to relocate the silly choke cable from steering location ?
I want to change bars and use barbacks which puts my bars right over the choke cable ! there has to be a way anybody tried or done that ?

I have a '79 750, tried to use the left hand control off of a newer 650 with the choke on the control. Didn't work for several reasons. Wiring was totally different, would have needed to make major changes, and the choke cable itself was of different length and wouldn't work right without a custom cable.

NOW, .. that being said, it is entirely possible that there is a way to do it on your bike easily, just wanted to let you know some of the things to look for if you try it!

personally, I think I will try to fab up something when the weather is better so that I just have a lever under the tank.

I used an E models shaft and lever on L carberators. Easy swap. Ray

An 81 1100 would have CV carbs. On my 83 CV carb 1100, I just reach down to the left side of the choke bar on the carbs and pull the bar with two fingers. Easy. :-) Just like the old days. :-)

Struck a similar problem putting 1150 carbs on my Katana.
Removed choke cable assembly completely and hook onto the bar at the carbs just like Earl
