I am trying to build of a shim kit of the common sizes I will need to do the valves and I would like to see what others have found when they took theirs apart.
If you have removed your cams to change shims and still have the records of what was originally in your bike from the factory, please post that info. If we can get a decent sampling, we can determine what the most common shim sizes will be needed in advance of pulling cams, since you typically only need to drop down one shim size.
Below is what was in my own bike from the factory.
