I have an 01 955i Daytona. I haven't done any real looking yet, but are the valve shims compatible with any other makes and models?

'01 and under use 25mm shims on top of the buckets, '02 and newer use 9.48mm shims under buckets.

Cheers,

Well then... that makes it a touch smaller than the 9.5mm is see available as kits for the Japanese bikes.
They're rounding up. The shim under bucket Triumphs take the same shims as shim under bucket Kawasakis. The 100,000-mile bike I had was halfway full of Hot Cams shims when it got stolen.

That said, if yours is really an '01 it needs the 25mm shims like some old Hondas used to have.
