Might be harder than most people think, people aren't so quick to part out pieces of carburetors for fear of it might be a part you need down the line or because they're more valuable complete. Surprised he has so many.81 XS1100H -

The 'standard' ones are cad(?) plated, the ones used on the specials (or at least the later 80-81 models) were chrome.Originally posted by DeanR View PostFast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

The standard levers come straight up, the specials curve forward and up.79SF

Strictly conjecture since I don't currently have a standard completed, this is because of tank clearance, ergonomics, or simply for appearance. My guess is tank clearance but only a guess.Originally posted by SFerinTEXAS View Post79SF

No, it's not tank clearance, there's loads of room. The levers bend easily at the top, so you can straighten one up if required. They were zinc plated on the UK ones, I believe. I bought a NOS one on eBay for about $24 and it makes a big difference to the appearance of the carbs. I've only ever seen that one for sale so far, so to see several is rare.Originally posted by SFerinTEXAS View PostXS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs.

Can't really tell much from the picture... It says starter lever, not choke lever. I wonder if it has the rubber on the tip like the original. My choke lever is all rust.. thinking about it.When the horse is dead, dismount.
