because I had some problems with carburetor diaphragms, I ordered a set of 4 pieces in www.motorradbay.de
they cost 29.90 euros each, so 130 euros in total including transport
very good quality

some pictures from the assembly
package that I received







my diaphragms (original)



position mark


is important that the diaphragm be positioned exactly in the same position, to maintain slide position inside carburetor


cut the upper plastic ring



carefully remove the ring



bottom ring


adjusting the upper ring (~ 45 degree) with a file



mounting the new diaphragm




mounting modified ring, glue, secure (for about 8 hours) with a zip-tie

That looks to be pretty straightforward.  How do they work?

works very well
glue is resistant to temperature, no problems until now
engine throttle response is quick
