No Honda dealers near me but the closest one brought my parts to a gas station in town for free.

Try 42 miles to the nearest Honda dealer and the next is 48 miles. I don't think your distance is an issue.

Rather just have parts shipped to me, way easier

Bikebandit had the Pirellis for $23 for a tire... I don't know how I can go wrong with this haha

The don't b**** about shipping cost. If you are lazy you have to pay for it.

I have some things shipped just because it is cheaper than driving.

Haha, thanks Bear for laying down a set of rules for me on this forum. I don't think you will see me * about shipping costs ever. I will gladly pay $10 so I don't have to drive around in Chicago's * traffic

The engine is together!

I ported the intake side of the block too

I used two thicker base gaskets so your compression would not be so high.

Only thing left is the gears need to be installed.

Everything went together very smooth today

I don't seem to have the brake lever

I hope you have that part.

No.......It took me forever to realize that it was the wrong piece.

Your kicker was messed up...but it works good now

I also noticed that the threads on your final drive gear were chewed up, so I fixed those thread for you.

It is all together now and I have only these pieces left
