Hi Bruce,
I think those shims are for shimming the crown wheel on the rear drive.
They fit between the large flange and the housing. There are two
different styles (drum brake and disc brake) and come in the thickness
you mentioned. They never wear out and typically cost $10 - $13 each. I
believe these statements hold true for all but the newest of the big
twin models.

Any care to make an educated guess?? " On top of that (there's more?..) the guy threw in a set of Guzzi shims, supposedly fit LM1 and CX100. I have no idea what they shim though. They range from 0.8mm upto 2mm thick, are about 8in OD, 7inch ID. My only guess was something in the flywheel area? I should get a pic and send you. Ever hear of a shim this large a dia?
