Title says it all.  I'm going to do my valves early at some point before putting my bike on a dyno to get a custom map.  The 1000 takes the same shims as a 4 valver.

What's the cost * 0.5?  I just had mine done, so I'm not due for 6,000 more....

Is FogDuc the artist formely known as Motobee?  Inquiring minds want to know. Wink

Thanks, Brian.  I'll  take you up on that.  I'm heading to Spain for World President's Week, so won't need it until Nov.  I'll email when I get back.  Thanks.

Bump.

Since Brian is indisposed ( Embarrassed) does anyone either have a shim kit (DS/4v) I can borrow or is there anyone who wants to share the expense of one?

Its gonna be hard for anyone to share. Mike tries to put in one (each) of a range of shim sizes so the common ones are going to go quick anyways.

He ships in 2 days. Its probably more cost effective to just measure and buy the shims you need. If you measure this weekend you'll have them by wednesday. Since he lives near Sac, the shipping time is negligible.

Spidey was able to get my kit.  He should be set with shims, as long as he doesn't need one of the sizes that I  used and didn't replace.

I don't see how sharing is a problem if you replace the ones you use.   But thanks, EEL.  Like FogDuc said, I got a hold of his kit.  A couple of openers I needed were too small for what comes in the kit, so I ordered them from Mike @emsduc.com.  You weren't kidding about how fast he turns 'em around.  The shims showed up in the mail the next day.   waytogo  Mostrobelle and Enzo have his rocker arm tool as well, and that thing is sooo easy to use.  Another  waytogo

I plug him every chance I get, he deserves the business. I had a bunch of unused shims in my kit and he traded me those for the ones I needed.

Umm Spidey, are you done borrowing my shim kit? I'd kind of like to have it back.

Thanks,

Ah, crap, that's really bad form on my part.  I totally forgot I had it.  I re-ordered the shims I used and threw in a coupla of extra, so it's good as new.  Do you need it immediately, or can I get it to you later this week?
