    despite the fact that the forum has its own ship swapping service, those prices are pretty good relative to others sources. The shims are like $14 each from the dealer.

        Hey guys: There is also another place in Canada that ships all over. It is www.siriusconinc.com they are located in Ontario. I just got some new carb boots from them for 79.00 with shipping & tax was total 101.77 Cdn. & i got in 3 days from the order date. They have a total shim kit for all 29mm Shim tears at $89.00 cdn. You have to search the site it is order number 13-7007. This is the only other place I have found that has the shim kit. I will be ordering the kit this winter for next spring. - Dan

              Another source for shims

              Check out http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/Index_Main_Frame.htm

              They have shims a a reaonable price. My Yamaha dealer was 20.00+ each. What a ripoff!!!
