Choke/"enrichener" relocation
I was looking through the parts on this website and thought that this mod might be a little more practical setup. I have noticed that I sometimes have to reach over on the left side of my bike with my right hand while holding the clutch in with my left hand in order to operate the choke/"enrichener" ****. Either that or put it in neutral....
The website says that the aircleaner has to be aftermarket in order for this to work, which I believe mine is. Here is a picture of the aircleaner that I have on my bike.
(I can get a better/different picture if needed.)
So, will this work for my bike? Thoughts and/or insights are welcome please.

You've got a clear picture of where the **** mounts on the carb. It shouldn't be real difficult to go take a look at your bike and see if you can squeeze your fingers in between the stock ham can A/C and gas tank enough to operate the ****.

Well, I believe that my aircleaner is an aftermarket one, but I am not completely sure because it was on it when I got the bike.

Well, sometimes I forget to pull out the choke when I start the bike after it has been sitting awhile and when I am going it runs fine, but when I come up to a stop sign or something I have to adjust the choke if it hasn't warmed up completely. I am still working on getting the carburetor jetted and tuned correctly, so that is a factor as well. Also, like I mentioned, it just seems more practical (to me) for the choke to be on the right side and vertical as well.

The intake assembly may be aftermarket but the cover is stock. The relocation **** states "aftermarket" intake because of the shape and size of the stock ham can cover. It's going to be a bitch manipulating that choke **** with a stock cover, if it's even possible.
As cHarley noted, look at your bike and it should be pretty obvious.
