Wanted-Valve shims

[trophydave]

I am after the following sizes of valve shim for my Girly.1x2.45,1x2.50,3x2.65.Lings dont list the 2.50 one at the moment and I was wondering if anyone has any that they would sell rather than me forcing my wallet open at the Dealers.

I had a similar problem and research brought up some Honda motors which also use a 25mm shim.

Don't forget your friends with Yamaha's too... they use the same shims also.

I have some but shipping would be slow and expensive from USA.

The Triumph-ant breakers will do exchange for your old ones and a quid or so....

My local dealers (both Triumph and Honda) will swap out the shims at no charge in the service department.  You may check with them to see if they'll swap them for you.

Ouch!

Out of curiosity I called the local Yamaha dealer here to get a quote on shims. They charge $7 if swapping, or $12 if buying outright. That is still bad enough!!
