Rip-off?

[dickturpin]

Maybe just a moan but are we being ripped off?.....I mean £30 for an air filter.....get real!

[ChristoT]

Moaning about being robbed....


... by Dickturpin!  :pokefun :lol :lol

But yes, you're right. We're a soft touch, really. To arms (or handlebars, maybe?) fellow bikers?

I was once told that the most expensive fluid on the planet was printer ink....maybe air filters trying to get in on the act!

[Dead Eye]

But for what Air Filter? OE then yeah, tha'ts a rip-off. K&N, not so much

[red98]

this is an age thing....i moan about the cost of everything  :\

[ChristoT]

You worry me, I do that too!

[bri h]

waggon wheels were huge..

[Dave48]

That's the dealer price for OE. Can be bought a lot cheaper on ebay  or go the K&N route. Its not just an age-thing-compared with price for air filter for my car-its def. a rip-off! I query prices these days & have learnt to haggle-which doesn't come naturally to a lot of us in this country but im learning fast :lol

Yamaha parts for the Fazer 1000 and 600 seem ridiculously priced to me. I sometimes have a look on the AJ Sutton website just out of interest. I'm a sucker for trying to keep fixings and fastners original and the price of some of them are shocking. Brand new Fazer brake calipers work out at about £600 each  :eek That's nearly two grand for a set  :eek. I don't need any but who would ever pay these prices ? How do they sell them ? Most people are obviously going to go the 2nd hand route if they need anything like this.

I wonder how much it would cost to build a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 based on new parts prices ?

Makes you realise what good value a complete bike is.
