Now that I have your attention  Bigsmile

Would greatly appreciate a second set of hands with some experience checking shim under bucket valve clearance and shim measurement.  I've got my Street Triple apart, but I'm not confident I'm getting accurate measurements at TDC.  Gotta pull the cams too, but I'm mostly concerned about getting the measurements taken correctly so I get the right shim sizes.

What's in it for you:
- All expense paid trip to Russian Hill (gas money and meal)!
- Endless gratitude!
- Guzzi demo!
- Pet my dog! (I have an actual dog - no innuendo expressed or implied)
- I will tell tall tales of your heroism on this board and at Bay Area dinners which I hope to attend again, once I can ride again (soon I hope)
- A trip to Munroe Motorsports to go shim shopping!

I've got:
- decent mechanical skill - probably 100 screw type valve adjustments under my belt
- a hodge podge of tools, but what it takes to get the job done (well, I still need to by a micrometer)
- a garage to do some work in

Act fast because I can only accept the first 10 respondents  Lol

Not sure how soon you need this done, but I can swing by after work Monday or Tuesday.

No rush, seeing that I probably can't ride for another couple of weeks following a bike injury (but getting close).
