E-mail sent to get status of kit.....again.... not too cool to throttle (so to speak) the forward progress of the kit!  :icon_neutral:

If someone can't use the kit when they're next in line, there's no harm or shame in bumping yourself down a notch on the list! I'll post up when I get an update.

Could I add my name to the list? I'm close to the guy in Toronto, Canada (about an hour) so I could pick it up and do my shims in the same day then send it on its way.

I never got a reply...will try again.  :cry:

Next in line (ilya, Los Angeles?), please PM me your mailing address; the member who has the kit will pass it along and then get back in line.  :cheers:

Sorry Guys and Gals.  I'm the stooge who has been "throttling" the forward progress of the kit.  As I told pandy in an email, I haven't been onoline nor working on my bike because I have been going through an unexpected divorce.

Currently my bike isn't even running so I haven't used the kit.  However, I have opened it to verify its contents.

Whomever is next in line please PM me your address and I will get it out to you next day.

Hopefully if I'm given the chance, I can get back in line for the kit again once everything settles down for me and I get my bike running again.

Again, I am so sorry for the delay but I hope you all understand my situation.

Cheers from Northwest Arkansas,

Have I been around long enough to get on the list?  If a deposit or contribution is needed let me know.  Wondering about my exhaust valves as RPM drops to around 800 when stopping at lights.  Thanks

I have still not heard from the next in line with an address so I still have the kit.

Try to contact the next in line -- vorBH -- though it says he hasn't logged in in over 2 months.

I am in New Mexico BTW.......are there shims in there now to swap out if one fits?  I figured I would buy a couple of the thinner ones to toss in the bag.  Seems to be a hot item.

DLW:  How many of the thin shims are in there?  I will be working on my bike and I may run a feeler to check clearances before hand and order what shims I need while waiting on the kit.  Any word on the next guy in line?  Have a good day.

Nope still no reply.   Guess it depends on what you mean by "thin".  I haven't measured any since I really haven't used the kit but I can do that for you tonight.

They should be stamped on the shims.  Just curious what the inventory is.....If there are 8 of the 290 shims it may not work if I am needing 265s....  Know what I mean?

DLW

Yes but you can't count on what they are stamped due to wear.  So they should be measured.  Know what I mean?  ;~)

I will measure them tonight and post my findings.

Hi DLW:

If you haven't heard from anyone, please PM me and I'll let you know where to send the kit.

Thanks!
