you can buy shim sets from the states on ebay for about 120 delivered, called lyttle racing, this is what I bought for the zx6r, better to pay a buck a shim rather than ten

all good guys thanks for all the help, these zx2rs are a pain to find bits for.
but i found a guy in melbourne (precision shims) he has every diameter and thickness. and they only cost me $6 each
