Says it fits multiple years blah blah.

Where the kickstarts supposed to be on my spree, theres a little gear that is connected to the big gear that the belts hooked onto, so I just buy that lever and screw it on or whatever? anyone got a guide? And Ill be jumping it tomorow first thing with my moms car battery.
The kick start goes on a little rod that sticks out from the trans cover.

You can get a new key from a Honda dealer too. He could just solder the wires back on the ignition when he got a new key and hot wire it till then.

God d***, I need a key? What am I supposed to do if I don't have one?
Hot wire it.
Or just unplug the ignition switch all together and jumper the starter solenoid's 2 small wires, on to ground and one to 12 volts. The "Stop/Run" switch will stop it for you.

I actually live less than a mile from a honda dealer. I could bring it down tomorrow actually. Would they help me get it going or just give me a key?

Thanks for that, DOes it just screw on to the tran cover?

And also, what are the chances that this bike is a lost cause since its been sitting outside for like 6 months? I mean its a honda but what could be broken from being outside for so long?

The lever goes on that little rod and then you tighten up the bolt on the side.(you can see the bolt in the picture)

You will probably need to clean the carb before it will start.
