    I miss the old Ken Ross valve shim tool. They're no longer made and mine was in a box of tools that was stolen. It was the only tool that after all these years I have not replaced.

    The old gray biker ain't what he used to be.

      I had one made by Kent Moore that hooked under the cam and had a lever on it that pushed a pin to depress the bucket. I can't for the life of me find it, been moving around a lot! Even though that Kent Moore tool was easier than the Motion Pro tool, it's easier still to loosen the whole camshaft rather than repeatedly rotating the crank.

        Yes, that's the one. Mine was stolen 20 or so years ago and I had forgotten who exactly made it. What I liked about it was it worked on many brand X bikes too...
