Default CV carb question

Started to do swap last year but ran into a couple of issues,so now I am back at it. So here are my qustions.

1. what cable are you guys using I bought a single cable for a older model CV but the free length was to long.

2. My carb didn't come with the choke cable. If I buy a choke cable what other parts are needed I am having trouble finding out what else is needed to operate the choke .

Thanks for the help

Honestly, if you have an older Ironhead like mine, the CV was kind of a pain in the butt to make work...wouldn't clear my gas tank. I'm going with a Mikuni instead.
