Found the spec card for my Norris 440SC cams. My Yoshimura Super Bonneville cams have .410 lift, the Norris are only .030 more lift. Plus the Norris have 10 more degrees of overlap. The big difference is the duration. We now have 282 degrees of duration!!!!

I remember these Norris cams pulled pretty good on the big end. Killer power out of the corners too.

Should make a great "street" cam!!!

Its been 32 years since I shimmed up a KZ head. I spent the last two days going through my storage unit looking for my box of 650 style valve shims. After moving and opening box after box I finally found them packed away in my spare GSXR motor parts!!! Don't ask.

My cylinder head specialist has gotten around to working on my head. From what he tells me, all the shim sizes should be from 250 to 265 in all 8 valves with .006 clearance!!! I like that!!! Over the years I have accumulated a nice selection of half size shims. That way I can get all my valve clearances exactly at .006 thousands!!!!

Plus my painter just emailed me that he shipped my finished fuel tank back to me today!!!!!

God I love when a plan comes together!!!

Often wondered about in-between shim sizes, and where they might be available...

I've never seen them.

Unfortunately they stopped producing them about 30 years ago. Not too many people bought them.

Muzzy had a boatload of them back in the day I was told.

glad it is all coming together for you !

I have a few of those half size shims....they are designated as a size and the letter "A" for example 265A
Dr G is right that you cannot purchase them anymore

Got my Luminous Navy Blue bodywork back on my MK II. Just had to take some pictures of the new paint for the painter, and me.

Now got to roll it back on the lift, and take the motor apart. Going to put all the killer parts from my last race motor back in it!!!!

I think I enjoy working on my bikes more than I do riding them anymore!!!!

Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only flaw is I should of featured it in this paint scheme

At the time, I didn't know I was going to change the color of bike!!!!

I just didn't eat much for a few months so I could afford the blue paint job!!!

Can you just change the pictures for the BOTM??
