Reaper Jr's Choke relocation from left control to remote location.
Parts needed:
Yamaha Vstar 650 choke cable (P/N: 4TR-26331-00)
7/16-20 Jam nut (to secure choke cable to mount)
RoadStar Left control to get rid of the ugly 1100 choke lever
I was going to install the remote choke to the right side, but was lazy and didn't want to fabricate a bracket. Looking for a place to install the choke, I decided to use the faux cover on the left side of the bike. I also installed the switch to the Tricky Air system on this same cover (more on that later). One thing to watch out for if using this location is to make sure that the knob and cable will clear the two mounting studs when installed. I snaked the cable around the DBAK/DMAK filters. If you still have the stock air box, you will have to get creative and make sure that you don't kink the cable.
