There are holes in the diaphrams of 2 of 6 carburetors. Can diaphrams be obtained without having to replace the entire slide? I would like to replace all 6 diaphrams, but if I have to pay over $600 for complete slides, I'll only be able to do 2. Any suggestions on a source for carb parts?

Thanks for the info- That German place looks pretty good, I'm thinking shipping is not going to be cheap, but the quality looks pretty good, like everything German (assuming they're made there.) And it's the whole slide, including the center part. I want to replace 5 of mine, they don't have holes but have extra pucker where they should be smooth, which could explain some of my bike's weird carb problems. (one was replaced just recently)

AFAIK the carb bodies from a 1994-2003 HONDA VF750C Magna are the same as ours on the Valk I've seen just their carb vac diaphragms for under 10 USD per piece shipped. Go there: http://www.jbmindustries.com/index.htmlAnd ask. These guys do know. Best, -mike-

try small thin layer of rubber cement for the holes.
