I figure this would be the best place to ask rather than making 5 different threads 
Here are the mods I want to get done soon:
1. Choke relocation to the upper triple using a plunger type choke (like this one)
-Basically just mill a hole into the triple and slip it in, right?
2. Since I now work at a shop with a full machining capability, is it possible to get some spoked rims on my shaft bike? (I can custom make a hub if need be, or try to find a similar rim if i can)
-Is this even possible/effective?
-Downside of having spokes?
-What would this entail? basically just taking the parts from the inner hub, and replicating it into a spoked hub?
3. I will indefinitely be replacing the LH control switch (maybe this) since I don't like the look of the choke on there.
-Cheaper alternative? (I would like it to be metal since the RH control is, ya know continuity and all)
4. The shop has the ability to powdercoat the exhaust with high temp powder, is this really worth it?
5. I will be eventually rebuilding the forks, but have been playing with the idea of changing the front forks? (Possibly with a CBR front end. There is a full setup sitting in the shop parts room calling my name :twistedevil
-What are the headaches of this swap? I.E. possible things I would need to machine, rework, or replace?
6. Rearsets. I want to simply bolt some on, but that isn't really an option without spending a big chunk of money.
-I would LOVE to see some people's brackets they made for rearsets.
-Can I just drill into the bracket where the original passenger pegs were? possibly the frame.
Thanks in advance guys, I haven't been on for a while so I have quite a bit of time to ponder these things!
