Hawk 250 Right Side Choke Lever

Painlesstom · 02-23-2019, 07:29 PM

Reaching for the choke lever annoyed me to death.. So I came up with a kit to move the function to the right side where I could easily reach it. If anyone is interested, the order link and details in the video description.

Purchased, Great idea and thank you.

Thanks, it's made the experience so much more enjoyable. So if anyone wants less stress while choking.... here's where to get it. lol http://painlesstom.com/P3DS.html

Here's the installation video.

That's pretty slick.

I hope you applied for a patient on that otherwise we will see an influx of cheap Chinese copies for half the price flooding the market. lol

Thanks.

Patents cost $$ and then defending them costs even more. I don't see me selling enough to justify that level of investment. I enjoy making stuff like this as a side thing when I get a chance. Going next level with it just takes the fun out of it because then I HAVE to sell a lot to make sure I can make a profit one day. lol

I hear ya, kind of like my skid plates with center stands. The money I made off those wasn't much but gave me a little Hawk money. It was more fun making them and was good for stress relief.

It should work on all the CG motors including the TT250.

If it has the same carb, then the kit would bolt on, but I'm not familiar with every bike these are on and don't know what clearance issues might be present.

THANK YOU! The manual that comes with the bike is so basic! It doesn't even show the lever for the throttle!!! Was fighting with the bike forever trying to get it started! Glad I found this forum.

Old old post... is painlesstom still active? Went to the website and there's no contact and when I try to add to cart I get an error. Would really like one of these.

Sorry, I sold my Hawk a few years ago and never got enough interest in the choke lever to bother continuing with it. I jumped on an Indian Scout and never looked back. Good luck with your Hawk!
