You could get one of these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motion-Pro-Valve-Clearance-Feeler-Gauge-002-003-Inches-05-08-mm-Motorcycle/401487923010?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Yes a bit pricey, around £10 inc p & p from the US, but if it does the job and makes it easier it's worth the money?

What a brilliant idea!

Huh, so you don't like my idea if bending the ends  ;D ;D ;D
We have a few sets to choose from though and this little lot was just in one tool chest in the engine building room.!!! Nice that you are buying new tools though.

Thanks Julie. Could have purchased them from bikebitz for the UK full set. So opted for the harder American import option
