That first ebay link is to a pair of Suzuki's own restrictor carb slides, which are fitted into the carbs themselves rather than the washers which are fitted between the carbs and the inlet rubber.

They both do essentially the same thing - restrict the intake to about a third or thereabouts of it's full opening - but they do it in quite different ways. Neither are difficult to fit, but If you're not fully aware of how it should be done, then the 'washers' approach is the easier and less involves slightly dismantling of the two, also bear in mind that if you use the slides, while the diaphragms couldn't be described as fragile but can be damaged by improper fitting, as those ones are second hand there are some difficulty in fitting them as the diaphragms can dry out and shrink when not in use. There is an easy fix for this - but I know of two sets that have been damaged by trying to fit them whilst shrunken.
