After seeing the prices of these shims, may I suggest experimenting with aluminium foil.
I've worked wonders with this stuff and you may be surprised with the results. |

If I needed a shim when working, shops usually closed I would just cut up an old coffee tin!......

Any good motorcycle suspension place will have a range of shims.
I know that Tecnik at Penrith has a wide range and an online shop. |
