I took a ride today to go see what a local motorcycle group is all about.  The group is called R.O.M.E.O. Riders (Retired Old Motorcyclists Eating Out).  Once a week they pick a Mom and Pop diner in a small town and all meet up for breakfast or lunch.  Pretty friendly group.

The problem I have is that while riding to the diner, I see a "flash" of black,,,, it was apparently my choke knob and the plastic trim piece that surrounds the choke/fuel switch (1987 FJ) flying off.

Anybody know of a properly sized knob that I can replace that with?

How about one off a '92...  I can't spare the surrounding piece, but I am choke-free now and will send you the knob if you post your addy (or PM if you prefer).
