All I need is a few shims and they are like 1.31 each but Then they charge $16.00 bucks for shipping. Does anybody know of anything else that would work so I Don't have to pay the $16.00 bucks for shipping on a part that costs 1.31. I read on another thread that they wouldn't come down on shipping when a guy only needed a spring.

the other matt beat me to it, yeah if you either order those washers from your dealer for about the same price.

I had to machine them alittle with a grinder but not much. I saw them online before somewhere besides hot seat but don;t remeber were.

i'm assuming you run the gen 2 pipe?
what powerband do you want?
,,if you remove ALL shims out,you gonna have more top end out of the pipe,if you add shims,top end power decrease and lo end grunt torque increase,so if you put all shims in,torque is what you'll have most.

Scrama, did you wna them shipped overnight or something? Who di dyou talk to that told you it woudl cost 16.00 to shim 2 pipe shims? Ground at the most might cost 10.00 but it depend son were it going. The forums are awsome but I see alot of time rumors get spread really quick. That shipping price is !@%$@%$&$ give me a call or get me your zip and I canget you the price.

Sorry I didn’t mean to cause an uproar or hurt any feelings. I did read recently that someone had to pay 16.00 to have a spring shipped. I certainly wasn’t expecting such a harsh reaction. If you look at my sig you’ll see that just about everything on my bike came from you guys. The carb, the v-force reed cage, the pipe, the clutching and other odds and ends. Keep an eye on that sig.

Any other dealers want to trash their customers? Apparently that’s how business is done these days.

Slowly but surely, I have a 2 year old son who has to be by my side all the time so the only time I Have to work on it is when he's napping or in bed for the night. I tried a few times working in the garage with him but there is just too much trouble for him to get into. I understand your frustration about rumors and so forth and appreciate the apology.
