Thoughts on throtte-side choke relocation?

I'm thinking about moving my choke **** to a carb mount but I think having it on the throttle side of the bike will be awkward for on-the-fly adjustments. I down really like to let the come all the way up to operating temp before leaving.

Is this mod asking for buyers remorse?

Might be more trouble than it's worth imo

I definitely want to relocate the coil and the easiest place seems to be the top engine mount, but the choke **** is kinda in the way. I could do it, obviously, but moving the choke **** let's me tuck the coil up a bit higher. A bit more thought may be in order.

If you have a CV, I don't think that mounting the enricher on the carb cover using a bracket or different cover would make it any more difficult to tweak the carb mixture than it already is...

I have a Mikuni. There a couple off the shelf brackets, but I could make something easy enough. This would go along with a sidewinder air cleaner if it matters....
