Best place to get individual 29mm valve shims?

Just checked the clearances on the ol' FJ and the 4 intake valves need to be adjusted. Don't know which sizes I need yet since I'm waiting on the Yamaha tool to remove the old shims.

I was gonna go on eBay, but would rather keep it local if I can.

Help?

I grabbed a few at Cyclewerx. They were happy to let me take whatever they had in stock and offered to order in specific sizes they didn't have if I need them. I actually gave them a $10 deposit on each one that I took and brought back whatever I didn't need (I had a really tight one that I couldn't even measure).

Very cool guys.

I have a #270 that i can part with.

Cyclewerx were unable to order a particular size for me since nobody apparently manufactures that specific size. Ted was able to sell me the size i needed.
But Cyclewerx is my goto shop.
 
Turns out I need two 255's and two 260's. I ordered a kit from Bikebandit, but if anyone here happens to have those shims, I'll gladly buy them off you.
