Anyone know of a good place to buy fork shims in NZ? Seems to be a reluctance from some suspension tweakers to sell these to joe public.

Craig Brown at Colemans Suzuki, K'rd Aucks, has lines up some seals for my GN and has even written down the weight and volume of oil I need to put back in to get a nice ride. Give them a bell on 09 303 1786.

Yeah thanks, Craigs a good guy and I have bought a few shims from him. However I feel I'm being a bit of a pain buying a few shims of him at a time as I need them, and sometimes it means a couple of trips as he is too busy to dig them out straight away. A phone call for a few shims just takes him away from his work. I sense a reluctance for something as minor as a few $ of shims and I understand that. These guys also don't want anyone really doing their own work. I don't mind buying them in packs of ten or whatever. Where are these guys getting them from? If there was somewhere I could make an order direct that would be the ideal situation.
