I got mine from the dealer back around 2009 when I did it to fix a base gasket leak. About the only thing I can think of is maybe replace the oil pump drive gear if you have a pre 2006 model.

Replace the rockerbox bolts (5/16???), they are around $1 each and may break as you are torquing things back down. Check and replace rear engine mount, sometimes cracks form around the 4 bolts holding it to the engine and if it breaks while you are riding you are in for bad times.
