Anybody know where an inexpensive shim kit can be found, preferrably with the valve tool? Thanks -Ryan

back when I was looking I saw the 28mm shim kits all over the place.

If it is the 32mm shims for a 750 twin, they do not exist amymore.

I believe they are 29mm diameter shims.

This site shows the shims and changing tool:

KZ900 and KZ1000 use the 29mm shims.

Talk to the service manager at the local Kaw dealer. Many
(mine) will swap out shims with you because they don't wear, whether under or over the bucket.
