Ok, You're after TartanTerror. The tool should work for all 1st and 2nd Gens and early Vmax. I don't know if the new Vmax is the same on top? Anyone know?

Cute pup Jack. You'll need to get a side car so he can ride along...

Scotty I guess this is the list. Earl (skydoc) can forward it on to you when he's done. It has an assortment of shims, a shim tool, both a magnet for pulling out the shims and a pick made from a churchkey by Dingy, and a shim chart/map by Dingy which you can copy (also posted here on the forum). I ask that shims used be replaced and as many used shims as possible left over be placed in the kit so the kit grows a bit each time its used to make it easy on the next guy. Your own shims should be shuffled around as much as possible as first choice, then dip into the kit. Dingy needed a large qty of 2.70 shims which was unexpected, I had 2 of them, but 4 each of the next 4 smaller sizes which was what my reading led me to believe would be the most heavily used as valves tightened up and required smaller shims. I will want the kit back for the Georgia Maintenance Day in April if it keeps travelling after you're done. RandyR

Earl, Glad to see it put to use. Dingy can send it on to you. Please PM him your address.

If anyone is going to need a valve shim kit and tool in the next week or so, let me know. Dingy has borrowed mine and he could ship it to someone else as easy as he could send it back to me. Its good for 1st gens and 2nd gens.

Thanks for the reminder. I've copied it to another forum I use.

About 5 years ago the quicky oil place my dad was using failed to put any oil in his car. He got about 5 miles before the engine seized up. They paid to have the engine rebuilt.

Its easy to add a tach, I've put one on my RSTD. You really don't want the engine running much below 3,000 rpm. Thats 70mph in 5th gear. At 45mph I'm just starting to think about shifting from 3rd to 4th.

http://cdn-3.psndealer.com/e2/dealersite/images/ec0268/STR-4NK27-15-01.jpg I just put the first part number into Yahoo Search and got several dealers selling breather covers, including http://www.preferredpowersports.com/custompage.asp?pg=370-235-236-568051 $89/pair hmm I look at the second dealer my search comes up with and its says $25 discontinued. So, its a RARE DISCONTINUED item and the price is jacked up at the first dealer.

A warm sunny day here, but the wind has been blowing like a hurricane all day. I'm surprised a tree hasn't come down in my yard.

That might drain the battery to the point it can't be started.

I never heard of that one before... -
Looks good Gary. Thanks for the spreadsheet. I was told some Triumph dealers carry 25mm shims in .025mm increments, but they are hard to find. Does the kit I sent have all the shims in it that you need?

If you run a dehumidifier for any reason, then you're generating your own distilled water. Its handy for applications like this.
