I was going to via the instructions but you bring up a good point that I over looked. What are your thoughts on it's usefulness? What's its purpose in the first place?

Yeah I think your correct because when I checked my old shim it is basically .020". I think I'm gonna try and find a pack of shims to allign everything with.

So I have been bad at posting pics of the work I've done. I got my frame swingarm and other parts back from the powder coater. After the guy sandblasted the frame he found some rust in the squarish area where the swingarm mounts. I cut out the the rotted area and tig welded in some new metal in. I have the motor all back together. The motor is back in the frame and the front end is back on the frame. I am trying to decide at what I should do about the transmission. She had a little trouble going into 3rd and 4th under throttle load. I am not sure what transmissions will fit or if i should rebuild what I have? Any opinions or ideas would be much appreciated. I have also came up with a new battery relocation box for u see the seat. I attached a few photos of where I am at now.

Looking good!
On the transmission, pull the shift drum and forks, then the gear set.
If all gears/bearings/shafts look good, there's a Baker smooth shift kit that could be used to improve shifting under load, check shift forks closely for bends or wear.
I'd go with the overshift ratchet pawl kit too.
New gaskets and seals and good to go.
