Reconfigured Controls

I bought a 41mm Mikuni flat slide carb kit which has a plunger choke right on the carb. That meant the cable choke and its handlebar mounted lever had to go. I picked up a salvage CBR1100XX switch block and used parts from that to cover it up.

  Some re-wiring was needed for the right-side controls I installed.

  Choke lever and cable to the spare parts bin. More clutter removed from the bike.

End cap for the left controls from a 2003 CBR1100xx

No more choke lever

For the right side, I got rid of the combination starter/kill/throttle housing to install separate pieces.

  I used a starter switch from a 2007 CBR600RR which would leave room for the aluminum single cable throttle I would install later

The GB and CBR have different styles of kill switch and starter wiring. With some help from friends I got it sorted, at the expense of having a functioning kill switch.

This is the CBR starter switch

This is the GB500 starter switch
