Kudos to Z1

I have a local dealer that I would like to buy from. I did buy my helmet from them because I needed to check the fit. They are 15 minutes from my house and they have a very knowledgeable parts lady. Now for the bad news. They wanted to charge $13.68 for each valve shim. I only needed 2. The valve cover gasket was $34 without the half moons and they would have to order the shims and the gasket. Their standard lead time on a special order is 10 business days.

Friday evening, I ordered the parts from Z1 to be shipped Priority mail. My paypal payment is time-stamped 9:04PM CDT. I received a shipping notice on Saturday and the parts showed up in the mail today (Monday) Their prompt handling of the order is very appreciated.
Z1 charged $5.28 each for the shims, $8.80 for the gasket and $15.33 for the valve depressing tool. Shipping was $6.00.

Best of all I'll be able to ride tomorrow

They are the first place I look when its time to maintain the GS1100. Their prices are usually the best, and they have quick turn around.

I often check other places, but seem to always come back to Z1.
