I haven't, but I have fitted one to my Lambretta.
I used a thumb operated lever from a Yamaha FZR600, fitted to the LHS. This way, the writing on the choke lever is the correct way up.
The advantage of this type of choke lever is that it has a friction setting, so you can feed in a bit of choke if your engine is running weak or you have picked-up some bad fuel.
I ran a partially external cable, so the lever can rotate with the gear change.
