Where can carb shims be ordered and purchased???

Any motorcycle dealer should have them, well except for the HD dealers.

Alternativly you can get washers at your local hardware store that'll work too. I ran out and needed another shim on each needle so i found some washers that were about 1 and 1/2 times the thickness as the ones most people use.(.5mm)As long as they are about the same size in diameter and in the hole they'll work fine. Got a couple in there now.

Lucky me; I had some approx. .020" thick small washers in my assortment pack of R/C car nuts and bolts, to use on Son's screamin' yellow Speedy.

.5mm / 25.4 = .019685"

(I was searching for washer thickness spec., figuring we'd have to make some, as he's picked up a slight midrange flat spot since he drilled the slides air hole.)

Thanks, Dale!

Is this a great board, or what!?

Bellacorse

Or here at Bellacorse...Very good service from them.

They are listed at the bottom of that page the link is to. $2.00 for 4 of them. Shipping will probably cost more, so you may want to order extra goodies to make it worth your while !

I bought 10 from my local bike shop for fifty cents. Almost any shop that works on bikes will have some.
