Heh. MOOP1 had a cable choke. MOOP2 I like to keep simple. Just a throttle and clutch on the handlebar and just a coaster brake.
I don't ride fast anyway as much as MOOP2 wants to go.
I've been so used to my choke controller on my handlebar that I'm finding that finagling with the choke with your left hand is a bit dangerous because I'm looking down and not on the road. Sometimes I have to stop to get the choke right. It would be cool if i can get that choke lever over to the left.
OR.... just switch the throttle and clutch around!
(pardon the lack of grass. Saving water and I have 5 dogs)
Old Indians apparently had their throttles on the left because their gear shifting was handled by the right hand so it's not entirely sacrilegious.
It's cool to ride because not only do you have to get used to having the throttle on your left,it works BACKWARDS meaning you turn your wrist UP to accelerate.
Benefits:
1) Slows down thieves for sure.
2) At an intersection,my right hand is on the clutch therefore my left hand can signal.
3) I feel nostalgic and my bike feels truly personal.
4) Choke is now easily controlled with right hand. No more twisting body or looking down.
5) Epic Win!
