    Looking for 5 Y270 shims for my 1981 XJ650. I have five shims to trade, if you like: 2 x 280 and 3 x 275.

    I apologize if this is not the place for this; I'm new here, but feel free to point me in the right direction.

    Dave (hogfiddles) runs a shim pool, and for a deposit, he'll send you the shims you need, and once you swap them out just mail the swapped out shims back to him, and once he receives them he'll send you the deposit back minus 8$ for shipping.

    Can't beat it! Just shoot him a PM and tell him i sent ya ;)

    it may seem confusing but it's really not. you be honest with hogfiddles, he'll be honest with you. Although your location is not in the lower 48 states I'm sure he can still help you out. Send him a private message! he's helped me out
