    Ebay...Say what you will

    Every once in a while, ebay comes through. I have been watching for valve shims since none of the local shops in my area will swap. A couple weeks ago I was watching a group of avout 8 shims. It was floating along at around ten buck for almost a week. In the last hour, they went over a hundred. You could almost buy them new at that price. Then, tonight somebody listed some and didn't know what they had. I got 49 shims between 220 and 310 for $96 bucks all together. I should be able to take what I need and relist them make it back plus some

    I have Ebay to thank for the Battle Cruiser. $1100 was a steal as far as I am concerned.
