Bill Hagan Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Got mine today. Look to be very well made Thanks Aaron! Randy 85681[/snapback] Mine came in. My wife thought I was a bit loony to be as excited as I was. Then -- we had unexpected company, so now I'll have to hold off the installation for another day or so. OBTW, Aaron, I liked the lawyer tag line on the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SDKFZ111 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Aaron I picked up the shims earlier this week from work, thanks for the prompt service.Going to show them to my Guzzi dealer before I fit them. Cheers David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Bard Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Thanks so much Anthony for starting this effort and everybody else for following through and sending your checks. It was a lot of fun to ship the parts of to fellow Guzzi riders around the country and beyond. In total there are now 34 bikes with the shim. For those that missed the bus, Todd Haven of MPH CYCLES in Texas will be keeping a few sets in stock. Any feedback you guys can provide as to fit and function will be useful if there is a future run of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcono Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Aaron, Got your shims a couple of days ago. Thanks for helping me and all of us with this problem. What a difference! I think the sound is even better because A) no blowby and no more rattling sound like the ding ding ding I kept hearing. Now I can really hear the clutch clatter in neutral and boy...even that sounds great! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MGDanDiego Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I wouldn't mind a set if the price comes down to about $40.00. I am tired of my front crossover flopping about. Rocketman look at the photo in this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/98476523@N00/275904283/ for $30 I had the crossovers capped and the clanky, blow out problem has been solve forever, thanks to Rob north. Bike did not ride any different afterwords. This is the best solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike did not ride any different afterwords. This is the best solution. Be curious what diagnostics might show. And, as I think it was excess vibration when new SS shims were tightened that caused stress fractures to my header pipes, wonder what effect, if any, this approach will have on that. Thanks for the idea. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Z Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Any sets left? I know the original post was almost a year ago. Please let me know. 300 miles and I'm already having trouble. Thanks, Richard Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchCityBallabio Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 As a new member of the board, and a new owner of a Ballabio, I also would be very interested in a set of these if there are any available. If not, are there any plans in the near future to make more? Thanks, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet in MI Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hey Folks, Love the shims! As does my local dealer/mechanic. Given that the stock crossover gaskets are an issue, and one that they've seen more than once, he was wondering whether something could be arranged for dealer distribution. Nothing formally arranged yet, of course. Just kickin' it around for now. But maybe if a bunch of dealers put together an order that would be incentive for another production batch? Whaddya think?

Diesel Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Got any left? I'd like a set if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Bard Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The parts are now available through Todd Haven at MPH cycles 281-647-6557. He probably has a few more sets in stock. Thanks so much. Aaron Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet in MI Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Greetings Everyone, I still like the shims, BUT, after the first 100 miles or so after installing the rattling crossover is back. I've been trying to come up with a mod to correct this. Has anybody else had this happen? I first tried tightening down. That didn't work so I slipped some pieces of aluminum flashing between the header and the shims and tightened down with still no success What am I missing here (besides a brain, that is). Thanks!
