Glad to hear they made it...only 7 days...Canada Post is pretty good. Not as good as Amazon but still pretty good.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Looks like this will work. I may hone them more when I set up for the Andrews cams. Might make them more even as well.

At least your turd had a clean end so that you could pick it up.:laugh:

Seems good parts are getting few and far between. Was looking at exhaust valves and the used ones listed you can't even see. This guys obviously trying to pull a fast one.
Too dark to see.
This guys a crook.
I bought 4 new ones. The ones I have in the bike now I tipped. Getting some popping so they may be like the Doremi valves I took out.
I think I'm ready to do the switch.

You can still get OEM valves but only for intake. (or is it exhaust?) I looked because I was interested in a set for my engine rebuild.
Are you happy with the Doremi valves Steve?

They didn't seem to hold up as well as OEM. I'll know more when I take the intakes out this time. They appeared to be lighter but I weighed them and they're not by much.
