Yep, that's just a relocated choke **** in the video. It sticks out ridiculously far IMO.

That's an interesting item, for sure. Still not sure why you need to worry about idle speed after it's adjusted. I guess it's for those of us who just love extra ***** to turn and buttons to push.

I believe it would be something along the lines of this:

And for the record I've got a '92 - which of course has a carb.

I've got one like that. The one in the vid looks like the idle and not the choke.

Makes it nice for cold starts - turn up the idle a bit and you can push the choke back in without having to mess with the throttle lock. Real easy to turn back down after its warmed up and you're on the road.
Comes in real handy with the changing temps and atmospheric conditions.
Pretty easy to put on. Remove the idle screw (be sure to go slow and watch the spring) then screw the **** in.
I recommend pulling the AC (back plate too) off to give some working room - easier to catch that spring too. I spent 15 min looking for spring and getting it out of where it went. Had to rig a bit of wire and a zip tie to keep from bouncing against the tank.
