10mm I'm pretty sure. Same as a vrod.

Could it be 9.5 mm (or 7.5 mm). These dimensions are available for japanese motorcycles
-
In case you're wondering, Hot Cams doesn't make sets of 10mm shims.

planning ahead
From what I've gleaned here and elsewhere, these should do the job, right?

There are also only three of each shim...and you could end up needing four of the same (although the odds are against that).

You're right about the .002" (.05mm) increments but that should still get em all within spec when I get round to doing it at some future point. Same issue with my C14 but 9.48mm diam. No kits I've seem have .001" increments, only OEM single shims.
