  • Need Shims - Trade 'ya!

    I have finally taken the valve cover off my bike for the very first time since I've owned it. I'm glad I got the motion pro tool - it made the job super simple. I did the measurements, and according to the numbers, I need the following shims:

    280, 270, 270, 270, 275

    I have the following to trade for them:

    285, 285, 285, 290, 295

    and I'm happy to pay for shipping

        Thanks! Let me know what you have and if I'll need to look elsewhere for individual shims. I'd like to get this taken care of before XS East, so I have a couple of weeks left to work on it.

          I'm pretty sure I have what you need if no one else does. Send me a PM if you still need shims.
