@ Cra Z1
Totaly agree ! Let me make the total cost of that rework. I think I'm going to sue him for hidden defects, even if the sale was without legal quarantine.

@Zed 1015
I already use a 400 grits and it look ok. I have noticed some fine gouges on few old shims.

@Texas KZ
I already made an oil change after my first ride but nothing drawed my attention. I will have a closer look on my next oil change after start up.

Just a FYI...I always measure shim thickness to ensure it's the correct one. In the past I've found the odd one that is not the stamped thickness.

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.
