Hi, anyone know the valve shim size on my 79 xs1100. 29mm maybe? Thanks!
Also, any one have any of these sitting around for cheap?

Shim sizes

There should be a number on the side of the shim that is away from the cam. The shims vary in size, from around a #250- #290 are some of the more common sizes that I have. Do a search here for shim thickness, and diameter. It has been discussed here numerous times.

I found this site which lists a 29mm diameter shim kit and includes the xs1100 in its description..

Shim(s) missing????

If you no got a manual, get one. Will detail how to adjust valves as well as many other necessary procedures.
