Repairing Ripped Carburetor Slide Diaphragms

Damaged and /or ripped Carburetor Slide Diaphragms that have deteriorated from use is becoming a more common occurrence on older bikes. We are able to repair many of the carburetor slides by changing the damaged rubber only. Below is an example of damaged slides from a VT1100 Honda Shadow. These slides were no longer usable and are no longer available from Honda rendering the carbs useless.

Vintage Yamaha RZ350 Shock Rebuild

This is an example of what we do here that a lot of shops can't and won't get involved in. This is a non rebuildable stock shock from a vintage 1984 Yamaha RZ350. The customer was looking for an upgrade in suspension so we gutted the rear shock and using a KYB 40mm valve body, some machining and ingenuity we were able to dramatically improve the action while saving the customer a good bit of money over buying a complete aftermarket shock. The nice part is the bike still looks stock. If you have a project and a realistic budget give us a call!

    I have been involved in mechanics and motorcycling from a young age. I formed Cycle Improvements in 1981 and still have the same passion to learn today as when I started. Hope you find this blog interesting and educational.
