Talk to Ray (Ghostgs1) of the shim club. He will hook you up.

Z1 Enterprises has aftermarket shims. I use these.

PartsOutlaw has OEM shims. I haven't used these, but I use PartsOutlaw for all my OEM parts.

Suzuki-affiliated shops or dealerships will also have shims. Some have been known to trade shims (you give them your old ones, they give you the sizes you need). Sometimes there's a small fee ($1) for this. Or sometimes they wont do it.

Make sure you get the 29.5mm diameter shims, not the 29.0mm. Other brands (Kawasaki, Honda, etc) often use the 29.0mm.

Suzuki shop wanted $54 for two shims. Ray wanted zero. No brainer.
