    Well, with a great big THANKS to Randy, I got the piece I needed. It seems to be about 4mm longer than the original and has more holes. Do you folks think I can cut it down, make sure it seats at the same height and be good to go or..... My thinking is that because it's the choke circuit, with more holes I just wouldn't need to use as much choke. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

      I would think it would be ok... I guess you'd maybe never be able to have ideal choke for both carbs perhaps.

        Dude, you are in Phoenix!
        Have you ever even used a choke?

          No. Never ridden and haven't even started this bike yet. Just want to make sure to get it all sorted out before I put it back together. But hey, it gets down in the 30's. Thanks though, you're right, I prolly won't need it much if at all anyway to make a big difference.
