Since I have joined this forum I have seen numerous threads and posts relating to valve clearance. There has been much discussion on how to, when, or even if this check is even necessary. What I would like to do is keep this thread constrained to OBSERVED VALVE CLEARANCE and avoid ANY discussion other than that. Model and mileage? Yes. Previosly shimed? Might be useful. Vin number? Up to you. I would rather you did not post comment on the oil you use, where the best burger in Peoria, PA can be found, or wether your mother-in-law rides a Road King. However I am a realist, if you really must, go ahead.

Previously shimed? Yes at 12000kms (8000miles).
The first number is the left side valve of the pair.
