having found what seems to be the starting problem, does anyone have a collection of valve shims they want to sell or swap for the ones in ours? also will need 2 cam cover front bolts for the front cover as ours are tight and the heads rusted and will round off when trying to remove.
dont know yet what size shims as will be doing next weekend so looking for a collection of various sizes so we dont have to do 50 miles saturday morning to pick up new ones. so trying to get all ready for the off.

Re: valve shims and rocker cover bolts
this was why I was asking ready for next weekend. you dont know what you need until you start the job.
then you have to order and wait. when the bike is needed as a daily ride it cant be off the road that long.
just thought a set bought between the group could recirculate to whoever needs them.
