Hard to find valve shims

[Snatch Napkin]

I am trying to find some valve shims for my '79 KZ 750 twin. The actual measurements that I am looking for are 32mm x 2.45mm. This would have me on the tight side, but within tolerance. I would gladly accept 32mm x 2.40mm as well. These would have me on the loose side, but they will eventually tighten up with enough miles. These are "over the bucket" shims.

I am contemplating getting some shimmed buckets from a different motor, but within the same diameter. I am not sure if this will work, though. If anyone knows another remedy I'm all ears.

If anyone knows where to find them I would greatly show my appreciation with beers or lunch.

Any hardened shim to this spec should work.

call them

Their website shows them to be currently unavailable as they try and source a new supply.

I'm calling them anyway to see if I 'll get lucky and they find a couple in the parts bins.

ahh, my bad..

Keeping my fingers crossed. There might be a N.O.S. broker with a couple shims. They're pricey, but I need them.

No, thank you. There might be a chance that a Representative at Z1 just found a couple.

i think i can get my hands on some, not sure of the range though

I really need 2.40mm. This guy says he can get the 2.45 so I went ahead and ordered them. They will have me on the tight side and will continue to get tighter as the valve seats further in the head. I will have to check them in 5,000-7,000 miles.

It would be awesome if you found some.
