What feeler guages do you guys use to adjust valves.My Lisle brand ones for cars and trucks wont fit in there.Im trying to avoid spending 25-30 for the motion pro ones.I would like to get one at a local parts store to avoid shipping on a tiny item.Thanx

I bought a set of flat feeler guages ( Under $8.00 or so ). I then bent the ones I was going to use for adjusting valves to fit into area.

I just bend mine also, they will still close and flatten back out. Some auto parts stores sell individual ones real cheap.
Have a good day and ride safe.

I picked a couple of these up at the moto shop. They work just right

Lisle , K+D, S+K, -----Anything in a blister-Pak will usually say on the package what it includes. If it gets real desperate-- The OLD MAN in the corner house probably has 2 or 3 of them laying on the garage floor. Whichever you choose---Dont spend more than 10 or 12 bucks at most.
