I agree. the shims on the rebuilt calipers work for about 13months or so, just enough to get out of warranty.
I still think the only way to repair these things is to hard surface weld the groove and regrind it to tighter specs than than factory...there needs to be enough play to allow the yoke to move along with the fat wire spring, but I think if the groove/wire/yoke interface were regularly lubricated (like every 5K per the lube order on my RIP 84 900T WHICH I like to remind myself NEVER had any clunk and still had the OEM brake calipers on it at 188K miles and 8 years) it would last a very long time without brake clunk. YMMV.
