    I have a 2.75 and 2.85. If you want to trade, send me a pm with your mailing address and I'll get them out to you. You can send me back the one you have the most of, as I'm just slowly collecting shims for my yet to be built engine.

      BTW Forden, the posted pic of that bike makes it a 79Standard not Special. Tell-tale signs are fuel tank, front fork, and several other things.

        That's a nice looking bike! I've only had mine since May of this year but have already decided it's the best one (out of about 15 total) that I've yet to own.

          PM me your address and I'll mail you the three shims you are looking for. If you want to send your extra's back to me, that'll be cool. I'll add them to my collection.

          Excellent, thanks Bob. PM coming.

            Thanks Ray, Bob has all three, so that'll take care of it.

              Indeed it is, I prefer the style of the standard. I don't think I called it a special anywhere, did I?

                  No Forden, your model listing is correct. Sorry, my bad.

                    Hi Mike,
                    I dropped the shims off at the post office this morning, ETA Tuesday.
