THANK YOU for the predator comment. I just found one for $80 plus shipping on ebay:

Polaris Predator 500 Mikuni 42mm BSR Carb: eBay Motors (item 130423480437 end time Aug-26-10 08:20:49 PDT)

Alot cheaper than I was expecting also. This was fixing to be a LONG search. My ds650 has a White Bros pipe so this should work out fine.

Ensure that you do the OMR stock carb mods. Might as well do them before you bolt it on the bike. Quick and easy and alot of bang for the buck. Actually it's FREE horsepower!

Will do! Kinda odd how finding this carb may have made my day. I have been looking around for a couple days and figured I would be stuck spending 400+ on a new one as I couldn't find anything and this seems perfect. I bought the ATV for $1000 so trying to keep it cheap right now. Ordered another throttle cable for $14.xx + 10 shipping on ebay so should be in business.
