    82 650G Choke relocation, rims, and more

    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 )
    -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!

    As for rearsets; I just used an existing hole in the bracket. Seems very close to where the pegs are on a 650 Katana.
