Kind of a dumb question I think. Can 7.48mm diameter shims be used for a Gen 1's valves or does it HAVE to be the 9.48mm shims?
Having to do the shims as I had the head apart to clean all the crap off the valves and from the ports, then lapping the valves (by hand).
It's my first time ever doing valve shims on a bike and was surprised to see it's not a part that you can readily buy at any bike parts shop. I do have someone sitting with a Hot Cams set which has all the thicknesses I need but they are 7.48mm diameter.
