    Hi all, I recently picked up an 83 xj750 and need some help with what shims I need. It's been a couple years since I've had my xj550 and am having trouble figuring out what I need using the chart. Here's what I got

    E .13 .18 .18 .11
    I .15 .15 .13 .14

    Here's what shims I have in

    E 270 270 260 275
    I 285 285 285 285

    Any help is appreciated!

    Get a 265 for E1, move the 270 from E1 to E4, and you're done.
