BMW South Africa has no stock of valve shims for me as they are on back order from Germany for the last 3 weeks. IS THERE AN ALTERNATE MAKE OF MOTORCYCLE SHIM AVAILABLE THAT WILL WORK ON THE K ? I am looking for the following sizes 1x2.50 3x2.55 and 1x2.65

The shims from the old Kawasaki Z900 and Z1000 and Z1300 plus the Yamaha 1100 of about late 70s to early 80s will do. The kawasaki ones are a better shim to use.

Any Nipponese type of 29mm-wide shim will do the job, as Rick suggests.
