Just got a 2005 GS500 yesterday, and I *hope* to do a valve adjustment on it tomorrow. Ideally I'd check the clearance, drive out somewhere to get the shims, and slap in the new shims in that afternoon. I know from experience that dealers having parts in stock can be a crapshoot, no matter how banal or common the part is, so what place is most likely to have them? The last time I had to deal with anyone for Suzuki parts, CWW was still in business, so it's been a while.

P.S. If anyone is willing to exchange shims I'd be up for that too.
 
Glen @ FS has these in stock. They weren't too bad last time i bought a kit.
 
Took me too long to do anything about it today anyway, but I have another question - on the fiche and in the manual, it suggests the shim are available in .05mm increments. But the shims in the bike were clearly marked in multiples of 0.02mm (272, 262, 268, etc) ... what gives? I mic'ed them and the markings were accurate.
