Peaks and pits...
Bought 5 valve shims on e-bay for $4.50 a piece. ;D
Didn't have all the sizes I needed
Seller "carted" them to save shipping from $4 each to $5 for the lot He did have ;D
Stopped by the local Honda Dealership for the last two odd sizes I cant find on ebay where they were listed $7 a piece
Dealership Owner stepped in and said they were only $1 exchange if I brought in the one I don't use ;D
Bottom line my "good" ebay purchase was $30 for something I could have bought today for $5!!!
Just bought this tool and it's on it's way... should be able to finish my top end Saturday ;D

Heaven is so far away.
Good on ya Hoosier!
I went to my closest dealer last year for Suzuki shims, and the guy pulled out the plastic storage tray for them. As he was looking for the sizes, he said "You should think about getting a newer bike. These shims are getting harder and harder to find." I told him "Yeah, I keep looking at the 2012 GS500F at the dealer across town. Even though it uses the EXACT same shims......"

Hahahaha gold Rich! I also buy mine from a shim manufacturer who ships them to me overnight quicker and cheaper than I could possibly get from Suzuki...
As for purchases for me, phone holder which I made a foam insert for to hold the work iPhone:
Smaller mains to get the 450 running a little better (I now have 2, 4, 6, and 8 sizes up from stock, one's gotta be right!):
New breather catch tank from Pegasus Racing courtesy of various posts on here. I need to replace my PVC one as it is weeping everywhere and making a big mess:
I also have some needle shims on the way from the US and a new USB power adaptor to replace or compliment the auxiliary power socket I put on a while back.
Got a couple of "new" things...
New-to-me tool box! Now to organize my tools... I hate searching for that thing-a-ma-jig!!
Keeping this engine for a possible build up for the "KZZXR 1000"! Trying to sell the rest of the KZ1000...
Got the tins painted on the KZZXR last month! It's hard to see (crappy indoor cell pics), but it's a deeper red with some metal-flake for a little bit of "pow" this time! ;D
