Hi :)

My 98 tiger is in pretty bad shape and one of the carb has a large hole in the diaphragm / membrane (keihin).
This part is pretty expensive here at my local dealer in Canada.

I live near the border of Canada / USA (30 miles / 50 km) from Vermont and it's easy for me to have stuff shipped in USA and to bring it home.

I'm open to suggestion to find a replacement diaphgram :)
I'm looking to replace it as I don't think fixing it can be a permanent solution.

Any suggestion ?
Do you think this item on eBay is a good solution ?

Thanks :)

In my experience they last a long time. Yes the oem part is more expensive, but at least you know it will be a perfect fit.

the oem parts are only 70 bucks at bike bandit
that ebay one for 69 dollars is most likely for a harley and odds are the cut away notch won't be right

get the one from bike bandit
