Recently I was lucky enough to get hold of a secondhand EMS shim kit from a ukmoc member ... at a very decent price.
I'm glad I did but I'm not sure that I would go that way if I was paying full price.
The kits do contain a large selection of shims in a wide range of sizes but in my experience (limited though that is, admittedly) it is the shims in the middle of the range that are the most useful and I very much doubt if most of the larger or smaller shims would ever be needed.
On that basis, I think I would recommend just buying those odd shims that are needed from your local Ducati dealer and saving those which are replaced, building up a selection of spares in the more useful sizes that way.
Particularly at the moment when we have time on our hands, it makes more sense to put up with the wait for the shims to arrive, I reckon.
