[Shotimes] Valve shim kits...

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

IIRC, the SHO Shop is having some shims made.  I forget the details of sizes
and $ though.

I have 72. 24 are being used. :(

Good call for bringing this up though Colin. I was thinking the same
thing recently. So far we know that Kawasaki and Yamaha bikes have
"some" of the shims for our cars.


I guess I should do my 3.2 really soon so I can get my shims while they
are out there.
