don't buy from Toyota, they are way overpriced. I got mine from here: http://www.cylinderheadsupply.com/valve-clearance-discs-25mm.html
just called local toyota dealership because i need about 14 shims. they want $12 each. are you fucking kidding me? 
I got mine from Champion Toyota, they're a vendor on SF. I believe I paid around $5.50/ea when I bought them last year.
still $7 each at cylinder head supply. awesome that they are almost half the price of toyota oem, but damn, that still seems expensive for a tiny little metal disc. is this the best way to go?
no reason to thread jack, but I'm looking for shim less buckets for a custom 7m cam set up any hints on where besides toyota?
i have no idea. i obviously know the toyota shims are good. i dont have access to a cylinderheadsupply shim. the only thing i can go with is the fact that other members have purchased them and been satisfied with the quality.
Go to a local motorcycle shop and ask for shims for a Honda CB750 (as per this post: http://www.supramania.com/forums/sh...ve-clearance&p=1291611&viewfull=1#post1291611 ) at the parts/service counter. My local shop just gave me the shims I need, said they hardly ever get any bikes in that use them anymore. It helps if you measure everything out first and find out what shims you can reuse....then go get the half-dozen or so ones you may need to replace.

You guys didn't check that link very closely;
6.95 is for a pack of TWO.
Now tell me it's not the place to shop for shims.
