Valves
Here's a nice example of guide wear for you. Mouse over it to see the amount of slop (Javascript needed).
This was on a 1989 R100GS with 52,000 miles. Pulse air system in place. You can see the face of the valve beginning to crack; here are two better pictures of the valve itself. Click for close-ups.
