Conventional fork base valve shim stacks

Just wondering what people out there have done with their OEM base valve shim stacks. Seems to be about 10 identical shims and one with a larger ID on the bottom of the stack. I have heard that some riders have taken out a number of them to reduce the mid travel harshness. Is there any magic number? Fredette said that there was no good combination with the OEM base valve shims. Figured I would try pulling a few and see what I get. I just opened up one of the tubes on my 2002 and found all OEM parts. The guy I bought the bike from told me that there were Gold Valves and race tech springs. Very dissapointing :evil: I allways seem to trust people unless they give me a reason not to. Looks like I need to turn it around and not trust people untill they give me a reason too. Oh well.
