Valve adjustment

have a 2001 gl1800 ABS and am wondering if these are the recommended shims. It has almost 100,000 Kms and no previous valve adjustment.

They appear to be correct. 7.48 mm OD and .05 mm increments in thickness.

Would you recommend them?

I have never used that brand so I would have no business recommending or not.
I used the Hot Cams shims and I would recommend them. That said, I see no reason to beleive that the AHL brand would not work for you.
I had the Hot Cams set on hand before I did the valve lash inspection. I did not want to have an engine opened up and then discover that replacement shims were needed. I've done the valve lash check three times on GL1800's. The first time I did the check, I did not need any shims replaced. The second and third check shims were needed and I had them on hand.

Thanks, do you think this kit offers a good cross-section of sizes?
