Ok I was all set to do the valves today.... only to find that the shims won't fit in the valve top...... the bike calls for 7.49 and every shim in the shim kit is 9.49 in diameter !
even though the box says 7.49 the dirty S.O.B's mislabeled the box !
and sense I bought them over a year ago it makes it real hard to get my money back !
....
so I am stuck with the delima of buying another from Hot cams and risk getting another box of the wrong size or buy from another company.....
does anyone have a recommendation of where I can buy a shim kit that are the correct size ? Thank you !
Bob........
