Yes there is a member(can't remember his handle ) but he offered to loan the kit but we are in Canada but shipping was an issue! So @Marcarl found some and he had a tool anyways!Between my 2012 and @XV1100SE 2009 we had to change 3 shims(1 on mine and2 on his) I was checking mine as I had same leaking valve cover from when a dealer did(supposedly ,can't remember cost but another dealer that I asked said it wasn't done as they didn't have bike long enough and other tell tale signs---based on information I told them) a valve check at recommended(by manual).I lived with cleaning the mess until I heard that @XV1100SEwas going to do his with @Marcarls help so they let me show up(after I ordered the parts)to do both bikes at once! We picked a weekend and made a day of it! KNOCK ON WOOD I haven't had any other major repairs to have done besides oil,filter, tires(general maintenance),head bearings,rotors and exhaust pipes(Y-pipes both sides because it has been ridden over 130,000klms rain and shine!!!)

Another solution is to park by the Harleys, then no one will notice.

This was me coming thru a tunnel on the parkway last week. I had hit the airhorn to see how much the wife would jump at the echo, laughed at her and exited the tunnel to find carnage. Three cars, two bikes, and a hiker in a pile, parts scattered everywhere. The first car upon hearing the horn and seeing a single yellow light thought he was meeting a freight train panicked, locked the brakes and lost control wreaking havoc. Three cars, two bikes, and a hiker in a pile, parts scattered everywhere. Luckily no injuries but it took two days to figure out which parts went to which vehicle. Lawyers are recommending I add more lights to look less like a locomotive. The best news out of it was that me hitting that broken truck bumper shook two lost 10mm sockets from somewhere in the motor and landed on my floorboard.
