Howdy All,
For anyone who might be curious of the results, I performed a first ever valve clearance check on my 04 with 96,864 miles on the clock. I wasn't having any known issues, fact to me, the bike was running just fine. I did the check mostly out of curiosity.
Six were out of spec. Two were near the limits and were re shimmed. Red = out of spec
Between the shims, gaskets and a few other items I've got about $350 bucks into the job, not sure how many hours (lots).
