Which shim kit for 2015 FJR1300

[Fred W]

Many years ago there was a thread, might have even had a poll attached, asking what new shim sizes were needed when reshimming. The idea was to develop an FJR specific shim kit that would have 8 of each of the possible required sizes ( there were only a few possible shim sizes likely) so that you would know with reasonable certainty that you would have what you needed on hand. The idea was that this would be a loaner kit, and whatever shims you used you would have to replace before passing it along. Unfortunately it was a great idea that died on the vine. But if you find that thread it should have the info you would need to make your own kit.

Oh boy. I remembered the thread, but not that I had started it. Old Timers disease is setting in..,

I wish more folks had chimed in. That would have been useful info
