Last time I had to adjust shim type valves was last year on my Bonneville, and ended up dropping a piece down into the engine. At least I will try harder not to do that again.

I hear ya.

Not on the CB1100, but a Yamaha 1100 I dropped the tappet nut inside the engine block. The room went dark. It didn't help it was about 104F with humidity factored in and every mosquito saw my blood. Long story short: I got the nut out after much curse word practicing.
