I have just received my IMA top and bottom triple clamps for my '95 m900 and am looking to move my choke. Anyone out there have any pointers or suggestions I would love to hear them.

The very early monsters came with a choke cable very much like a car with a simple pull knob.
Some were mounted up by the bars and some were closer to the carbs on the side.
Maybe you could get one of those.

I just did this on my Bandit, and it looks factory and has one less cable.
Perhaps an old-school bicycle derailleur lever and cable to suit...

older Ducatis had a flip lever which was mounted onto the frame under the tank. I can post a photo later, but it's very simplistic and keep the cables short and out of the way
I used one of these and attached it to the frame on the left side of the bike:

The cable to the fast idle lever (which should be identical to your choke cable) fit perfectly.
The downside is I can't find a place that sells these now, but try googling "ignition advance lever"
That lever would work perfectly for what I am trying to do but I am not having any luck finding them like you said. I'm thinking maybe looking into lawnmower parts as much as it hurts me to say that. Thanks for the good idea.
It's a choke lever for a Ducati single (and many others)
Plenty of repros out there

$30
This one looks better IMHO and is cheaper
