  • This page will show you how to install the JBM Industries rubber carburetor diaphragm on your Keihin carburetor
    used on '84 to '96 Honda VT700, 800, & CBR 1000F Hurricane motorcycles. These are "VG" series carbs.
  • The JBM Diaphragms are made from TSR rubber and must be glued to the throttle slide, as the slide is made of
    plastic. The original diaphragms were held in place by a plastic ring that was glued in place. The JBM diaphragms
    use a thick rubber "tire" that is glued directly to the slide using Super Glue "Gel" type adhesive. The Super Glue
    "Gel" can be purchased at "Family Dollar Stores" for $1. JBM does not ship this adhesive with the diaphragms.
    This same method & diaphragm is used on Honda VT-700 & VT800 Vintage Motorcycle.
  • These diaphragms fit a 72mm diameter groove Keihin "VG" series carburetor. The diaphragm has a "key" with a
    small hole molded in, so you do not need to purchase O-rings. The carburetor shown here has a small tube
    through the key, but this is non-fuctioning on this carb, as the cover plate blocks this off.
You have about 15 seconds to get the
marks to align with Super Glue Gel.
Order: Keihin 72mm Diaphragms  
They are:   $19.50 each.
  • Worldwide shipping is $4.00

Vintage Honda Motorcycle Carburetor Diaphragms for plastic Keihin slides.
Hi, I received the carb slide diaphragms' that we order this week, we installed them and they work.
I don't remember the part number but I think they were 72mm
Any ways they worked on a Honda 1984 VT700C
Thanks Bill  .....The Parts Store & Service Center, 51073 Milano Drive, Macomb MI 48042

You guys request to know what applications these can  fit--  I am installing them in carbs from a 84 vt700 honda  they should fit any 83-85 vt700 with that groove
diameter  this will be the 3rd set i have installed on these type of bike,  first time buying them from your company, others don't last and don't fit correctly without
modification.  Your version definitely show better quality and craftsmanship.  We will be spreading the word that you guys have these available for a lot of models.  
Thanks again,   Dan Reckmo <turboranger95@att.net>

Hello,
The replacement Carburetor Diaphragm came it today. The quality of these parts is perfect and better than the original in my opinion.
I am working on Motorcycles since 1979 and was happy to get these high quality spareparts.
Thank you very much for your kindful help and assistance and the fast delivery.
