Thread: ve shims!

Ok now I remember a while back people were saying we could use vrod harley shims.. but I'm not having much luck. Where are you guys getting your shims? Does greg v keep any in stock?

Nevermind parts guy number one just wants to be an a55 about it.

Vrod shims ftmfw!

Did you get a part number or application?

yes sir Vrods ftw.

What's the significance in this upgrade please? I have a vague understanding but could I use this as a learning opportunity?

When you have a valve job done the installed height of the valve is higher in the head; requiring a thinner shim in order to maintane proper clearence (lash) between the cam and rocker.

Its just easier for me to use harley vrod shims because there's a dealer a mile away and they keep a decent assortment of shims in stock.

^ no be honest, you want that mean v-twin rumble and know you cant get that sexy noise with out harley parts lol.
