Last night I zeroed in the rear valve set and now I have about 100 shims left over...LOL!

Here's what worked (from memory which ain't real good

FR IN = 1.70 shims for both valves
FR EX = 1.20 for both

RR IN = 1.60 shims for both
RR EX = 1.25 for both

The biggest difference in lobes between stock & Morwi STG 1 cams seems to be on the EX cams...

Thanks, I have always liked the RC51, but I strictly use my SH for commuting and figure it's easier to turn a SH into a beast then it would be to tame the RC to be a nice commuter.
