I broke the plastic threaded part on the choke, 2000 M2. Anyone know if there's a sportster part number that will work? (under fuel tank on left side).

If it's threaded, find out what the size and pitch of the hole and make your own!

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT.

When you install it, go as handtight as you can, then put a short-handle wrench on it and give it no more than 1/4 turn to cinch it down. Overtorque is what likes to break them. Ditto for the resistance adjustment nut...it is just plastic, after all...

There was a very recent thread about this, and some alternatives were discussed. I don't remember if any were practical though.

I've broken one also, a bunch of people had.

I broke it on my Sportster. Super-glued the plastic piece and carefully reinstalled it. Rode with it repaired like this for close to a year. The repaired part is still in my toolbox, just in case.
