Valve shims

Does anyone know of a place to trade, exchange valve shims. It appears that over the years I have accumulated a lot of 295, 290's even 300.......... I'd like to trade or exchange, sell off whatever I have surplus of.
Any thoughts for this ?
Thanks,
Marc

Selling and buying on ebay is a possibility. Trading with others is always a viable option. It seems like the thinner shims are a little rarer than the thicker ones. I have a surplus in that same area too. Also try to trade with CB750/900/1000F owners. Their bikes use the same shims.

Try your local Honda dealer. I used to just trade them shims, but the last couple of times they just gave me what I needed from their shop's stock. They so rarely use them anymore as they just don't work on many old dohc Hondas. Every dealer has dozens of them on the shelf in the shop.
