Do you mean the carb slide diaphragms or the diaphragm in the octy? I just used K&L kits off ebay for my petcocks, brakes and octy.Originally posted by alaskaxj11 View Post82J · 81SH · 79SF Fire Damage · 78E · 79F Parts Bike · 04 Buell Blast

First, he's got an XJ. I don't believe they have an 'OCTY' so the only fuel diaphragm he must have is the petcock one(s).Where to buy a diaphragm assembly

Thanks Steve, Once again I learn something new.
Maybe the XJ tech forum thread sounds like a better and better idea.
Especially for those of us that are XJ ignorant.
So if the XJ shares Octy's and petcocks, then any special (79-81) kit should work right?Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

That's why I posted a link to the ones GeorgFix has. They do both petcocks and the octy and the kit is only $26.Greg

$26 for all 3? That's a pretty good deal.
Once I get my SG up and running, If my octy needs overhauling then this might be the way I go too. (I know my petcocks are holding right now, but might as well do them too since the rubber bits in them are probably just as old as the octy's parts.)Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!
