Default starter

since almost every bike has the push button start, is there a way to relocate that and just have the throttle cables being used by your front brake

you can wire in a toggle switch anywhere you want. just get the kind that returns to the off position so you dont leave the starter on.

You can put a starter button anywhere you like.

If you do re-locate the starter switch, get a marine-grade replacement. Other-wise, it will be a source of trouble down the road.

The trick to cleaning up the right bar will be building/finding a bracket to carry the
throttle-cable mounts, since the switch housing performs that function, as well.

I'd haunt the wrecker-yards for something along those lines.

Merry Christmas, Ern
