Exclamation Choke Valve WANTED for Superhawk/VTR 1000 F

Hello, a few days ago I broke one of the plastic part of the choke valve, does anyone have any?
Itīs like the following photograph:

The genuine Honda part is too expensive.

Thanks a lot and regards from Spain.
Vīss.

I feel your pain. I broke one a while back as well. The only way I could get one was to pay top dollar.

Yeah the plastic parts suck. I just bought a used choke cable for cheap off ebay and made sure they were included.

if you haven't sorted out this issue yet I have a recommendation. this happened to me about the same time as you and I felt the same way about paying $35 for a little plastic piece. I went to one of the local shops and rummaged through all their old cables and found one with a piece similar to the one that each of us broke. It was metal but the threads were the same but the hole in the middle was too small. All I had to do was carefully drill out the hole. installed and tested. works like it should. It may have taken me 3 hours to get it sorted out but all in all it was worth it. Maybe I got lucky, but it was worth a try and worth my time.
