wtb: complete choke cable assembly and muffler clamp

I want to buy a complete choke cable assembly from the lever on the
handlebars to the plunger in the carb. I also want to buy a muffler clamp
that goes just below the airbox, behind the rear master cylinder between
the header pipe and the muffler pipe.
Thanks,

Mine smooths right out around 5k, Only thing I would recommend is check
your oil at fillups along the way. Kawi made it simple with a window,
just stand bike up level and if the oil is at the top or just over the
top of the window. Keep going.
Back at stock gearing now, but even 14/43 or 15/45 sprockets is fine,
but when I went 14/45 that was really pushing it for me at least for
extended periods.
