I've found this, but I don't know anything about them. https://www.bonanza.com/listings/141-Shims-7-48mm-Valve-Shim-Kit-1998-2008-Honda-Interceptor-800-VFR800-VFR800F/524046814
Does anyone have a lead on where to get the shims? I'd like to have an assortment in advance if possible, so I don't have a long downtime. I've read other brands sometimes work with other brands. Any idea if that is the case with the 5ht gen engine? It always seems like the OEM parts for Honda are made out of some ridiculously expensive rare metal that they have to double the price for.
I wanted to revive this thread to say thank you, nearly sixteen years later, as I need to check my valves. My 99 has nearly 82,000 and it's never been checked by the previous owners. I guess I need to do this. Thanks HispanicSlammer!
Yeah, that's the one my bike chewed up. Part of it got eaten up when the PO didn't lube the slide pins, the other part when the center piston wasn't moving freely and it ate through the pads and ground the rest of it up. Tha's my fault.
Hey, Chico's not too far from me. I'll have to Google the shop and bookmark it. I'm curious about the dyno and definitely interested in the water pump mod as well.
I am between ordering Hydroturf and Stompgrips for my 5th Gen. The Hydroturf is priced lower, but I want to know which one is going to have the best grip.

So I smelled burning wires last night. I took off the fairings today and found that the the stator/RR connection on the right side for the bike was burned/melted. Is this a sign of the RR dying or is it just a bad connector? Bike runs fine, but I did take the cover off of the stator and I noticed that part of it is dark, part of it isn't. Bike runs great and battery stays charged.
Hey all,
Want some mirrors cheap? I found this on Craigslist, but the check I'm existing isn't here yet. Buy them quick! The seller says they're OEM!

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm on a tablet and search sucks. I'd love to have gear driven cams, but I'm only curious, has this been done or are the mounts different?
