long shot here I am in the tedios process of lapping some shims down to size and I thought... there has got to be an easier way Then I thought maybe somebody has the sizes I require.PS I have 16 shims greater than 2.5 spare. This job gives me way too much time for thinking( which it turns out Im not that good at)

Thanks Ken, I bit the bullet thismorning and went down to my local feindish friendly suzuki scammer dealer.$10 each changover shims so I forked out $40 and job done. By the way, did you have any joy looking for those swingarm seals/spacers I was after, If not dont stess, Its not urgent as its for a bike thats a long, long, long way off being finished. Thank you Zedsled for looking also.
Im hoping Im just days or weeks away from going for a ride. Still waiting on a glass seat base from a gent in S.A.

Thanks Ken, I think Ill just deal with the local suzi bloke for now. He is just down the road and your in QLD. Its gonna cost me though cos I screwed up my calculations and swapped two shims of the wrong size. So its back there tomorrow to throw more money at the suzuki gods. Do it once and do it properly, you say. I'm getting a little too good at measuring clearances and swapping shims for my liking

For future reference, I found an unlimited supply of shims in croydon vic at a reasonable price. so if anyone needs any...
