What do you know, they sell it in a kit with a caliper and feeler gauges.
I'm actually out of a couple of popular sizes of shims. I need to re-up my kit soon.
Honey badger is next for valve job from me. Maybe Saturday night. We might be customizing shim sizes. Hehe |
The combo deal isn't a bad deal.
For anyone interested in doing their own valves, which likely means you if you are reading this thread, I HIGHLY recommend getting the Hot Cams kit.
You should never have to wait a week or two, with your bike's guts all over the floor, while you order individual shims.
I just cross-referenced ebay, and their prices right now seem comparible to Amazon. There is one seller who is even selling single shims for $3.49 ea., But again, I HIGHLY recommend getting the kit.
Unless you are doing multiple bikes, you will LIKELY never have to purchase shims again. But if by chance you have too many valves meassuring the exact same, and you do run out of a given size, IIRC you can order packages of 5 of any given shim size (can't remember where I saw that though).
BIG EDIT: I just found another deal which may be better for some.

This kit has 5 instead of 3 per size, but only has 6 different sizes. It is ~$37
