    From what I can see on the fiche, the diaphragms cost over $84.00 EACH!!!??. Holy cow! Maybe cheaper to convert this bike to fuel injection (not!)

        Better price than I found!

        Let's make sure it's the diaphragms first, though.

            You'll have to have the diaghragms pressed on. I've seen some sites that do this. Did you check the diaphragms against a bright light and they have pinholes?
            It's better to buy some used carbs with good diaphragms.

                Haven't had any time off from work yet to check it out. Will work on it as soon as I can. Found the $84 each price at Flat Out Motorcyles, where I get almost all my other parts. I still can't believe they cost that much. Blew me away.

                    The replacement tank I put on my Shadow was pristine, but there was enough crud on the inside to warrant a good cleaning. Just cause something looks good on the outside......

                    I wouldn't glue the diaphragms, because if you use the wrong glue you'll destroy them and then you WILL be out $84 each. If there are pinholes, they can be repaired.

                    I think the screens are your best bet.
