thanks for that source.. looks like a good alternative, considering they just sell the plastic for the diaphragm and that's all i need.

Thanks for the help, I'll let you know if I go that route!

I'll check that out.. sounds a whole lot better then paying $162 for a replacement.

got a 1981 Suzuki GN400 for my first bike and turns out there is a small hole in the carb diaphragm which is disabling it to run. The local motor sports shop wants to charge $300 to basically rebuild the carb. My budget is tight so does anyone by chance have a diaphragm available or Mikuni BS36...

Appreciate it. New to the forum if you can't tell.. lol

I was thinking about just doing it myself and it looks like I'm going to... I just can't find a diaphragm for the carb anywhere. Time is also a factor.. want to get the bike up and running before school starts in about three weeks.

Picked up a 1981 Suzuki GN400 as my first bike for a relatively low price... knew I'd have to put some money and work into the bike before I got it up and running, but I had no clue a diaphragm would cost $170 a long with other various parts for the carb such as an air filter, main jet kit...

Think I'll go with the front fender and cut it in half then just because my budget is tight... thanks guys!

My build will be similar to the one shown in the picture but I can't find a rear fender like that for a low price. Anyone got any advice or suggestions? Could I turn the stock front fender into a rear fender? Thanks! The picture is of a Suzuki GN400 which is the same as mine.

Good point. I'll make sure to be cautious of that! Thanks

Thanks! heard that as well. I will be using that paint for my motor.

What kind of paint is the best for painting forks, motors, frames, etc., I'm going to be using black truck bed liner spray for my frame and some hi-temp paint for the motor. What are some other suggestions or tips for painting?? Powder-coating isn't in the budget for this project.

Got a GN400 for my first bike and looking to do a similar build. I'm on a strict budget so I'm trying to do all I can without having to pay a whole lot. How many inches did you lower the forks and did you keep the stock shock absorbers? I want to keep the stock ones on my bike because I don't...

Well he lowered the forks internally about 3.5 inches and raised them couple of inches for clip on handlebars... I just was wondering if I kept the stock shock absorbers on the GN400 how much could I raise the forks?? Im 6'0 tall so if I raised the front and back just like he did would the bike...

Just picked up a GN400 for my first bike... love the stance that you gave this bike. How many inches did you lower the front total? and what size rear shocks did you use? Also is it necessary to raise the back if I just lower the forks about 4.5 inches?
