You can buy them at Wiseco, but that's the most expensive place.

APE also sells them, and gives you a $50 (I think) discount on boring and honing if you buy the kit from them.

Lots of other places sell them also, try a Google search for "Wiseco".

Figure buying the piston kit and sending your block to APE is going to cost you about $40-$60 more than purchasing the piston kit from the above link and having the bore/hone done locally.

Any machine shop can bore the cylinders, but not all have the really expensive honing stones and the processes, equipment, and the experience to do the best job. You just can't justify spending the big bucks to purchase that stuff unless you have the volume to pay for it and still make a profit.
Jay does a "very" large volume, and he spent the bucks, and has the experienced people.

Considering that it cost around $100 per hp gained (at the moment, prices are increasing) to build a hot KZ motor, and a APE hone is worth about 2hp over a local shop hone (sometimes even more), that $40-$60 more turns out to be a very good deal.

Even I, a World Famous Cheapskate, plan to send my cylinder block and pistons to APE to have it bored and honed, even though it's going to cost me $200 plus shipping because I already have the pistons.

Believe me, prying $240-$250 (including shipping both ways) out of my wallet is not easy :D

I spent at least a couple hundred hours researching cylinder honing and ring sealing before making this decision.
