I use one of those telescoping magnet tools to pull the shims out.

I was an admirer of Rickenbacker as well. I introduced him to my son and built him a tribute soap box racer. It wasn't the fastest, but it won First Place.

Love the Suzuki GS series. They have a unique sound. It's a shame you don't see that many of them around anymore. When I do the valves in my Kawasaki's I put the sizes and gaps in a spreadsheet which calculates the correct shim to use. That way you can see what sizes you need and what shims you...

I'm a fan of the GPz.
