    And it also looks like they're somehow associated with http://wireless.1saleaday.com/ which is where a number of us bought the $9 mini video cameras a couple months ago.

    I'll keep an eye on this rally and make it for one day if I can.

    I'm sure Annie chased the burglar to the end of your driveway....

    either that, or the reason he's had so much trouble fixing it is that he reads the maintenance manual upside down.

    Bubba needs one of those....

    St Jude is one of the most worthy causes to support. I'm glad this forum helps every year.

    Nope, not me. I looked at GW's closely 2 years ago and decided to go the Yamaha route. The RSTD and RSV feel more like what I expect a MC to feel like.

    which reminds me that its time to start the Turkey soup from the leftovers...

    The coupon was just good for Thanksgiving Day, I believe.

    the poster has a 1st Gen. The Carbon1 adapter is just for 2nd Gens.

    I ordered online using the code I posted. Its over an hour-1/2 drive to HF so I'm happy to pay postage unless I'm otherwise going that direction. I went ahead and ordered one of their digital micrometers.

    the coupon code on the barcode 26531756 seems to work to save 25% on a single item. Thanks

    Looking forward to seeing the bike at MD in Ohio next Spring.

    I hope so. These are great bikes, and seldom have the level of frustration associated with them that you have put up with.

    I ordered a $10 metric dial micrometer from a chinese ebay seller. Its incremented in .01mm which is exactly what I need. I'll test it on a couple pieces of feeler gauge to confirm the accuracy. I was thinking I'd like a LCD readout which would be easier on my not-as-good-as-they-used-to-be eyes. But they are more expensive, in the $50 range. One thing I found peculiar, is that for many of the lower end micrometers, they had a readout with more digits than the accuracy. I would expect that the accuracy would exceed the readout, such that you could 'trust' the readout (within the accuracy). btw, my local Home Depot did not have micrometers, just calipers which are not accurate enough, I already have one of those.

    there are holes for screws to hold in tips for the pipes.

    I'd like to get a digital micrometer, metric, accurate to .001mm, for measuring valve shims. Can anyone recommend one in the under $50 price range, or warn me about cheap ones to stay away from. Or have one to sell?
  24. RandyR
    MiCarl will sell you a shim tool and shims. The same tool works on Vmaxes, 1st Gens, and 2nd Gens. the 25mm shims are used on a large number of MC engines and were used by Toyota 4cyl engines for many years, although the Toyota shims tend to the thicker sizes used on our bikes. fyi. Yamaha made the heads for Toyota. or I have a kit put together with the shim tool, an assortment of shims, a few shim picks, and a set of feeler gauges. Its being used now but I expect it to be available in a week or two. You'll need to put any shims you remove into the kit, and if there are less than 4 of any size left left in the kit, buy some replacement shims from MiCarl for the kit. Cover my postage by buying some more shims for the kit. See the posts Dingy has made on shim work and get his spreadsheet and shim calculator. PM me with your address. btw. if anyone has spare shims leftover or from a parts engine that they want to donate, they'll go into the kit. The shims in sizes from 2.60mm to 2.70mm seem to be the ones most needed. I'd prefer not to go outside the USA with the kit so as to avoid the extra shipping charges and customs problems.
