Hi, I am nearing my 16,000 mile check of the valve clearances on my 2009 ST1300 and would like to buy/own an assortment of Honda factory shims. Does Honda have an assorted kit they sell, or are they just available individually? I looked on the parts fiche and only individuals are showing. I prefer not to use aftermarket ones due to some bad experiences a friend had on shims purchased from a name-brand supplier on his Kawasaki Z1 (over bucket). They wore and scored very quickly due to being much softer than the factory shims. I have two different diameter full sets that I have accumulated for my Kawasakis and know that it is so nice having the right shim size to swap-in as you go. Unfortunately those for the KZ900 (29mm) and Turbo 750 (13mm) will not fit the Honda.
