I'm looking for a valve shim kit for these bikes.
So far every kit available (that I've found) is for the 701 SM.
I know they are basically the same engine, but I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Anyone know the answer with certainty?
 
I have used a Hot Cams 10mm Shim Kit, and a Moose 10mm shim Kit; they both work.

Next time I get one it will probably be a Moose one again.

Normally any 10mm shim kit should work.
 
Harley Davidson shims are 10 mm and should be found cheaper.
But why do you want a shim kit? I just measured the valve clearance and ordered the shim(s) I needed. Normally not longer than 1-2 days.

I need to complete the service in one day preferably.
I do not have a place to leave the bike disassembled while I wait for the shims to arrive.
I would have to take it apart, measure clearance, and put it back together once, and then, if needed get the shims and do it all over again.
I figure that I'd be covered with a kit at hand if any adjustment is needed.
