Quote: That choke knob DOES do something, it's not there for show.
A friend of mine has a fuel injected Kawasaki Vulcan and it has a "fast idle knob," which closely resembles a choke knob. He said he never has to use it though because it idles fine immediately after start up.

The Vics have that too. Almost useless. You shut it back off immediately after starting.
No one will miss the carbs except the crowd that still wants a kick starter. And the petcock? Fugeddabout it! Who wants to be fumbling for reserve while going through a turn at 50 mph? I'll take a low fuel light any time.
Sorry, the tank change is criminal. The "classic" Speedy tank is a work of art.
