    Would dunking them in some boiling water for a few seconds take out the wrinkles? I used to heat the veins on my arrows in hot water to take them back straight if they got kinked.

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Did anyone end up ordering these?



      By the looks of the stock part number, the BS34SS should fit the BS32SS - seems like they use the same slide. I plan on ordering them soon.

          Sorry for the delayed response guys. I was finishing my fall term of college and wasn't really reading the forums.

          I did end up ordering these and they did fit and are of quality material. The customer service is also great so I would highly recommend JBM.

          Make sure to measure measure and measure again.


          Enjoy and good luck.

            Thanks for the response, I'm glad they worked! Does your GS1000g have BS32 carbs or BS32SS? I'm 99% sure these will work, but I guess I'll find out when they get here tomorrow.

                Yep BS34s

                I misread by measurement when I first made this post.

                Sorry for the confusion if any confusion was caused.

                  Well I just installed the diaphragms from JBM. They seem awesome, except I thinking I'm worrying about nothing. The groove in the stock slide is 5mm, and there are plastic retainer rings on both sides of the stock diaphragm. The retaining ring facing inside the carb is actually what stops the slide's travel, instead of the end of the slide bottoming out against the carb body. The JBM ones are 4mm, which leaves a 1mm gap. This is just enough so now the end of the slide comes into contact with carb body. It really doesn't look like this will be an issue at all, so I guess we'll see how it works.
