I see you have a valve shim kit for the 05+ husky's, but to you also have a kit for the 04's with the smaller 7.48mm shims? My local (non-husky) dealer wants to charge outrageous prices for individual shims and I really don't want to spend $80 on the Hotcams kit with a bunch of shims I will never need. Thanks.
We do have the same kit 2.10 - 2.35 for the 7.48 shims, however the 2004 valves are prone to moving and the bigger kit might be a good idea. Do you know if the valves have been upgraded ? It would make a difference. We also have the next kit down 1.70 to 2.05 . Let us know what you would like. Mike.
Thanks for checking into it for me guys, your kit is actually cheaper than I can get 4 individual shims locally. The valves have not been upgraded, and this is the first time I have needed to adjust them. I checked them at 900 miles when I bought the bike last winter (they were just in) and now at 1500 when I noticed it getting tougher to start when hot (they are just out). I am aware of the valve issues on these and will be getting the stainless valves and springs when it comes to that. I am pretty sure I have a very early 04 (it has a 5 speed transmission) so I don't know if that helps with the valve issue or not. Let me check my shims width (my better half called me back into the house before I could pull them to measure) and I will get back to you. Thanks again.
Once the right intake starts to loose tolerance do yourself a favor and do the head / valves before something catastrophic happens. Once it goes it goes real quick as the outside hardened layer has been compromised. I had a 04 TE450, been there did that.
Thanks, I will keep an extra close eye on the right intake valve. I'm checking them with every oil change and if they change much from here I am definitely swapping in the stainless valves.
