gulp... I thought the $24 for a new shield for my Caberg was bad enough...
Why is it that "top end" manufacturers do this. We all know that the plastic they are using isn't any more expensive than the plastic in an HJC.. granted volumes may have some effect on costs, but that much...
This is similar to what Triumph does. Most of the OEM parts they sell are just plain userously priced. The Triumph Oil is perfect example. Why should it cost any more than premium oil at an auto parts store.
This is the kind of detail that would keep me from buying many products.. Porsche, Ducati etc... they price their items based on the status, not the actual value or cost.
