At my Honda service department today, I was able to confirm that the correct valve shim size for our Forza engines is 7.48mm diameter. I asked ........& they pulled out the same service manual I have. I explained that this info was not in there. It wasn't. So they brought over a young mechanic and asked him. He said," let me find my HOTCAM shim kit."
He showed it to me...... the same kit I bought last night on-line! Glad I guessed correctly.
7.48mm HOTCAM shims are what they use...good enough for me, too.
(I was impressed twice over! #1 they have the 2014 manual. #2 they have the valve shims ready to service a valve adjustment on a bike or scoot)

FYI, these are made in Taiwan, not China.(to a lot of people --Taiwan is the new Japan when it comes to quality and price)
