before part, the lid off the Mikuni HSR-42, and the finished part. \\ 3rd pic below is the bracket in place on the lid. \\ A hole was drilled (1 size under 3/8") and a band saw was used to make the

Note the notch in on the lower right, it's clearance for the accelerator pump adjustment. \\ Slightly longer button head screws (M4) were used to attach the assembly. \\ As you can see, the 'ears' were shortened (leaving as much meat as possible). \\ This also shows that 1" material would be fine to use. \\ The small web left at the bottom rests nicely on the lid which helps out. \\ {{:techtalk:ref:carb:choke_relocation_on_mikuni_7_by_seano.jpg?direct&300|}} ((photo by SeanO of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-intake-and-exhaust/sportster-motorcycle-air-intake-carburetor-efi-fuel-and-exhaust/76362-choke-relocation-mikuni-hsr?t=543109)) \\ Here's a few shots installed with a custom round air cleaner.
