Wheel Bearing Shim Kits

Note: we are out of stock on ALL sizes of shim kits.  Since our move to Murphys, we have not yet gotten the punch press up and running in its new home to make more shims. However we anticipate we'll get some time to do that this coming winter (christmas 2022). Please check back Spring 2023 (or subscribe to this website) for updates and will will post a notice when the parts are back in stock. 

For decades, Duane Ausherman has served the BMW Motorcycle community with his excellent BMW Motorcycle web site http://w6rec.com

Duane's article on the /5 shims is https://w6rec.com/the-2-wheel-bearings/ 

 

The /2 wheel bearing article is https://w6rec.com/the-2-wheel-bearings/

If you endeavor to service your own wheel bearings, print out that page for your shop and follow his instructions. 

For many years Duane also provided wheel bearing shims kits through the mail, and Duane's page still references obtaining wheel bearings from him.   However, he recently asked me to take over providing wheel bearing shim kits and I accepted.  (This statement is circa 2013.)

When you order a shim kit from Scottie's Workshop,  you will receive the same shims Duane describes on his web site.  Each kit of shims includes

Qty 2 -- 0.002"   
Qty 2 -- 0.003"
Qty 1 -- 0.005"

The shim kits come in two diameter sizes (large) for /2 and (small) for /5/6/7 and R26-27.  When ordering, please specify which kit you want.

The variety of shims in the kit allows adding length to the inside spacer from .002" up to .015", in increments of .001".
