Easy, Cheap, Effective choke mod to get through the Acerbis petcock or just make the stock choke much more accessable..

This works great and anybody that has done smog system removal already has the parts.

Basically I cut the plastic **** off of the choke shaft, took the "L" shaped vac line from the smog system, cut the tubing to be about 4 inches long, slid the it over the shaft all the way to the carb body in the "off" position and let the "L" end of the tube stick out about 1/4 inch outside the frame.

I'll add a small hose clamp to the tube to really snug it to the shaft but it's already a tight fit.

The tube is ubber easy to get to so no more fumbling for the choke **** while riding. It is stiff enough to push and pull the choke into possition but flexible so it it snags anything (unlikely) it just bends.

Hmmm. Petcock, choke ****, slid it over the shaft, choke shaft, tight fit, ......This IS a motorcycle thread, right??
