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

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
