source for choke fitting?
#2
OEM, sold only as a set, Valve Starter set
http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...6-MBB-640.html
Scratch made, g_l_s_r on the VTR UK forum has made some for sale occasionally out of brass stock.
Home made modified OEM parts, Polaris carb part can be modified easily to work. Do a search here for "choke" and "polaris" and you should find several threads to include one I posted when I made a set.

Buy a set from glsr if available, or make a set from the brass Polaris parts

I tried to organize a group buy with Mark (g_l_s_r) for some engine cover caps/bungs. Him and I sent quite a few emails back and forth. Really cool, down to earth guy. He does that work on the side for fun and is not really interested in group buys, because then it will be work. Which is understandable.
How long do you think your buddy would need to make several sets? Do you think he can make them for about $18-$20 per set?
I would like to buy a couple sets.

I'll talk to the machinest that made my headlight brackets too and see if hes interested if colin's guy isnt interested. To be honest I've never had a problem with mine but from what I see I will eventually...

If anyone can make these, there is a very small market.

Im going to email the guy i know with some pics and see what he would give me for a price.
BTW colin, are you asking him to make it out of brass as seems to be the "standard"? It would be more cost effective and just as sturdy to make these out of aluminum...

project feeler
Alright so theres a custom machine shop on the way to my dentist so I decided to stop in on my way back and talk to the guy. showed him pics and specs from Erik's thread and when he quoted me a price my jaw almost dropped... so its looking like the polaris part is gonna be the winner here.
Although I dont have a lathe I do have the tooling necessary (quality drill press and a precision vice) to make these up. Depending on the cost per part, if I were to offer these at $20-$25 a set shipped to your door(lower 48 states) who would be interested?

I found out that I now have a crap load of free time on my hands. So, I tried looking online at a few places for the Polaris part, but have not found them any cheaper than $30-$37 w/shipping. Where are you guys getting these so dang cheap?
#28
the quoted price made from scratch out of aluminum was in the $120 for the set area... **** that
and mat my price for modded ones came out my ***, I'll start seeing what I can find for these things and start a new thread if I decide to take this on and resell them...

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, but....
Been following this thread, and, like my fuel screws, I can have these made. It will take some time though since I need to get my hands on an extra set of choke cables in order to get the plastic part off. I think Mikstr can help me out with this, since he has extra's, and I don't want to loose my ride for a few weeks.
I'll check if it can be made in a cost effective way, and, will keep you posted on my progress. If I can come up with something very reasonable, I'll be able to give anyone interested a time frame.
