        So I pay shipping back, again. Hmmm. Might be time to switch to PartsOutlaw.

            I've had issues with the last two shipments from G&S. Late shipments and damaged parts mostly. Now using PartsOutlaw.com.

            Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

                Call them back up, and have them send you a call tag for the damaged part so they pay the shipping back to them. Its their F/U not yours!!!!

                If they give you any hassle, call your credit card company.

                Plus ask them to ship gasket in the proper size envelope or even a box.

                        My Clymer Manual says to check each valve clearance when the cam is pointing straight up. BassCliff's guide differs - it says to put #1 exhaust pointing forward (not up) and check #1 and #2 exhaust in that position.

                        I followed BassCliff originally and ordered some shims. But now, I just tried the Clymer way and got different clearances....Which one is "right"?
