1994 K75 valve adjust needed?

Copied from Motobrick.com:

In order to adjust the valves (by installing different thickness shims) on a K75 or 2V K100, you need a couple of special tools: one to compress the valve spring and another to hold it down while you swap the shims. The Clymer manual lists these as part numbers 111720 and 111722 respectively. You can by them from BMW for $100 (see attached drawing below)

Or you can purchase some homemade ones:

I agree completely. I happen to have a factory set and one of Ken's sets - one in Kansas, the other in Texas. The use of one set or the other is totally interchangeable. He makes a quality tool that will last several lifetimes.
