    Right Shim?

    I'm changing out some shims on my bike 78 GS750, and the local shop traded me out (for free).
    one of them looks different no bevel on the edge is this ok?

      It is okay to use either of the shims.

          The one with the bevel is OEM Suzuki.

          The one with the squared edges is aftermarket, likely K&L.

          As long as the aftermarket shim is 29.5mm in diameter, it will work just fine.
