There's a knurled **** behind the choke pull that adjusts the tension. Try messing with that.

AANNNNNDDDDDDDD, hello and welcome from Tucson.

It's a good looking bike. My first Harley (and first bike, for that matter) was an '03 883 Hugger, black in color. It was a sweet bike!

Welcome and congrats. As Whaap said, check thenut on the back of the bracket. It is plastic and knurled. The rubber mounts have a tendency for the choke **** to work their way back in by themselves, so some people crank the nut down real tight to keep this from happening.

Welcome from Michigan.
I have a 06 that looks a lot like yours. I have a bit more chrome, but I dont have those cool looking pipes like you have.
Best of luck to you, and be safe...
GP.
