If you require shims Chris at Precision Shims in Melbourne is the man-cheaper than Triumph and will grind to the same specs as Triumph supply-very quick service and excellent to deal with-rides a bike himself.

I reckon mine will be due for it's 12,000 miles shim job around Christmas time this year. I already know the shims are out when I checked them a few months ago when I was replacing my rocker box gasket. Thanks John Q

Have used Precision shims John-good service and very quick to supply-ground the shims to the measurements I requested and 5 dollars a shim cheaper that Triumph-soon adds up when you have 7 out of whack and can only reuse one. See ya next week!
