Ok folks, I finally got around to just sucking it up and put the money down for an EMS 4v shim kit, MBP 4v valve collets, and new belts. 

I will be performing the 4v (desmoquattro) valve adjustment either this weekend or next, depending on how I'm feeling and I have all the parts in hand ready to go.

Anyone who would like to view or just hang out is more than welcome to come by and help!

Can I vote for NEXT weekend.  ;D  I've got a very important date with MSR-Cresson this weekend.  [moto]

Seeing how my SBK has 10.5K miles I may try and tackle that valve adjustment if I can observe how you do yours.  8)

I can even bring some food and drinks to feed you and anyone else that decides to stop by. Like I said, I'll just sit back  [popcorn] and watch.

I might seriously consider this if it's on a Saturday... and I am not brewing... and I can get those tank bags from chill. ;D

If you bring any of your beer I can probably find it in my schedule to come down... Maybe even bring some steaks and other assorted BBQ foods   :)

David, you should take some video ala Chris Kelly from Ca-cycleworks for others that may want to tackle the 4v desmoquattro vavle job

DOOOODD!!!  :-X  Can't believe I forgot all about you and those bags. My bad guy. Definitely hit me up if your planning on coming down this way. Of course, plan on setting a little extra time for some Houston hospitality.   [beer]

If a trip down this way doesn't pan out then just hit me up with a PM and I'll ship those bags to ya.  [thumbsup]

I'd love to visit H-town, but I was talking about meeting Joe at MSR in Cresson.  But if I'm ever in Houston I'll be sure to let you peeps know.
/threadjack done

The 4V maintenance I think is above my head, so I'll bite the bullet on the service rates at AMS.
