Replace the whole throttle valve or just the seal? Where could I find
a replacement? Bikebandit doesn't have any in stock, and they'd be
$110 if they were. Can I use one from another model bike?

Will do.
Any idea what the symptoms of a torn diaphragm would be? I was
surprised to see the tear because I didn't notice anything while
riding.

I'm not sure how interchangeable the 550 stuff is with the 650 and 700s but
I would look into it. I'd keep an eye on eBay and see if there are any
salvage yards within a hundred miles of you. I do occasionally see entire
rebuilt carbs on eBay for a couple hundred $. Again, those are usually for
650
Someone who speaks carburetor better than me will have to answer that one. I
know the diaphragm controls raising and lowering the needle into the intake
to adjust the air/fuel mix or flow or something. How it works with or
without it I'll let someone else guess.

Yeah, it's my understanding that in a CV carb the vacuum diaphragm
does most of the work - raising the needle to let more fuel flow
through the main jet when vacuum is increased by opening the butterfly
with the throttle...
I'd guess you'd have poor throttle response with a torn or worn out
diaphr
i know that the roommates 600 1988 shadow was the same carbs as my 1200 1986
GL... just half as many... i would look at other honda bikes from that era
(plus or minus 3-5 years) make shure to get lots of pictures to make shure
you get what you actualy need
