Org shim swap service. - SV650.org

After talking to Mark last night it was bought to my attention, that some shops do a shim swap service so you get cheaper ones if you trade a old shim in.
Now I know that a number of other people have done their shims on there SV's, though I'm not sure if there is a difference between curvy and pointies but I don't imagine a reason why there would be.
So maybe we could set-up some sort of shim swap service between us all.
Just tell us the size of the shims you have and then people can swap. After all what you going to do with your old shims? And you have not idea what shims your going to need next time, but if you have a set to swap its all nice and easy to do here.

Just a idea... foo, foo me if you wish.

Grinch,

Good idea, i'd be up for it I'm going to do my clearances soon so I'm sure I'll have (and need) a few shims to swap.

Good idea, it wont work though.
People will end up with shims they will never use.

Look at Zoom Factory, cheep shims.
