I know Gasgas parts are high, but come on!!!
OK, so its a bike thats not in the back of every truck, and its expensive to make short runs, blah, blah, blah.....but I have an 01 EC200 that needs fork seals and bushings for 43mmm Ohlins. No biggie, right? Well, according to their parts site it will cost me over $700 for those parts. I really love my GG, I have 3 of them, but this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I know there are other places to buy Ohlins stuff, which of course I will, but this just isn't right. For instance, a bushing for a similar year CR is $7, GG its $74. Seals and wiper are $14 on the Honda, seals and wipers for the GG are $225 EACH!!!!. KTM has a replacement parts kit that has all kinds of goodies, including all the bushings and seals, for $100 for the same year bike. How do they expect to keep followers charging prices like this?
Sorry, just had to vent, rant over.
