CB360 Carb Diaphragm, OEM or JBM

[OJ]

My "fixed" diaphragms finally failed beyond what I can repair, so I have to install new ones. Of course the carb slides on my spar bike are stuck, so they wont help. I'm looking at either spending fair bit of money on new slides/diaphragms or using the JBM diaphragms I already have. I have read mixed reviews on JBM and need a second opinion on them. Are JBM any good or do I need OEM bits?

I have used JBM diaphrams on two different CB360s with no problems.

I have no experience with the JBMs, but I have read that some have had issues running them on a CB360.
If you already have them in your possession, why not use them?
If they work, great.
If not, you order the OEMs.

I use a lot of JBM diaphragms.
There was an issue with one batch but they will all have been replaced (free) by now
I found it helps to drill slide lift holes to 3.8mm when using JBM diaphragms as they are slightly 'stronger' than the originals.
If you don't mind sending out on genuine Honda though, go for it.
Trek97 says OEM work better than the JBM, his slides didn't get drilled out though,
I was still experimenting with unknown at the time as JBM had only recently become available when I first did Trek's carbs
