Choke lever for GS1000?

80GS1000

I need a handlebar-mounted choke lever for my GS1000 since I replaced the GS front end with a GSXR 1000 front end and can't use the GS choke knob anymore. Is there a handlebar-mounted choke lever from a GS or other Suzuki bike that will work?

Thanks!
 
dude, you should go with the 78 style. Right there on the carbs.
 
Which looks like what? Is it a lever or something attached to the choke slider?
 
I bought a new left handle bar switch for my 80 that does have a choke through the triple. The new switch had the choke lever on it. I think they discontinued the switch w/out the choke lever.

Sweet! Where'd you get it? I had the type of choke that went through the triple too.

If a GS version like the one you got can't be found, I'm leaning toward modding up a Bandit/GSXR/Busa left bar switch with a choke lever. Knowing Suzuki, the wiring should be the same down to the colors of the wires. :cool: :mrgreen:

In any case, it'll beat the crap outta having to reach down and manually pull the slide to choke the carbs when starting the bike. :lol:

Chef-

Thanks for the link! How long did it take to get your switch? Did it plug right in?
 
These guys are pretty good. I've made over 10 purchases from them and I keep going back.
They are in North Carolina and I always got my stuff in less than a week (One back order took a little longer)
Yes, it was a plug and play.
 
Thanks for the response. What kind of choke cable did you end up using?
 
The '85 GS1150 has a choke lever that is mounted on the left handle bar, under the light switches. You might be able to adapt it.
 
The GS(X)1100EZ/ESD had a left hand handle bar choke attached to the bottom of the turn switch. Attach's to the same place as the GS1000E central choke on the carbs, will need a longer cable though.
