I only ask $100 for the valve job.

You guys have to buy the shims now.. and wait for them.

I don't gather anyone wants to put $400 into my shim kit. lol
I will recharge it when I can, but for now I am out of Ninjette sized shims.

This translates to one week turn around time and you pay for each shim you end up needing. Up to $88 max plus shipping.
Are there any local MC shops that have shims from services that you can bring in the old shims to and exchange them for the shims you need?
