Aftermarket Choke Lever Option?

[TJStoner]

I have a whole brand new choke cable setup but i am going to sh1tcan the old setup if i can find a standalone choke lever unit to use with the stock choke cable setup....anyone have any experience with this? i was thinking of the 900RR setup , but i would have to send it off to get the cable adapted to the pull knob....or perhaps someone here can slap some knowledge on me....

i was doing some thinking.....(dangerous undertaking, i know) ...and i think i may be able to use an old thumby type MTB shifter...i will have to do some slitting to allow the cable to go in ...and such, but i could mount it on the bar or on my subframe hidden away....i will stop by the bike shop i work at on weekends and see if we have something i can hack up for (developmental purposes)

Nobody has anything?

How about a early Shadow VLX setup?

Its part number 5 on the diagram

It mount to the side of the engine, but you could get creative.

I just happen to change my whole assembly out yesterday.. I got a left hand control assembly off of a 2005 600rr and everything swapped right over from my old faded stock hawk assembly.. even the choke lever!!! only thing that I didn't change was the horn button.

I did the same thing with an 03 rr... used the shiney housing and the hawk's choke lever.

you gotta love honda for making it simple like that!

Racers just make the cable into a short loop which hangs out down near the front cylinder, do they not? I may try this, as I need a new cable (which doc may have for me but I've been too busy to check)- and since we are in the begining of a projected four days of snow I think I have a bit more time!
