    Valve shim exchange scheme?

    Hi. Another site I was on (when I had an XJ650) operated a shim exchange scheme between members, or someone had a bank of used ones in various sizes.
    Is there any such scheme on here?

    If not, maybe we could start a thread where people offered their old shims to other forum members.

    Cheers,

    Nige

      With the constantly-changing order on the "New Posts" page, who is to say which one is "3 posts just after yours"?

      But, recycled64 is correct, look up and contact user 'Ghostgs1', he operates the "Shim Club" here on GSR.
