Shim are plentiful, if annoyingly expensive ($3-10 per shim just feels wrong).  The same shims were used on plenty of bikes from Honda and other manufacturers.

There are a few unobtanium parts, like stock side covers and oil pumps.  Overall I'm very happy though.

Two comments for the OP: make sure you have enough time to rebuild the bike - it is going to take a lot, don't underestimate the effort the way your friend did.

Second - don't run out and buy pod filters until you have really done your research - they are not a simple bolt on and notoriously difficult to tune.  Stick with the stock airbox until you get it running really well, then start messing with pods.
