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.

Ken,
I believe there are some errors on this site. I have asked Mark at Go Fasters to look into this. I think we will have an answer tomorrow.

That's odd as I have found gasgas parts cheaper than Ktm and Kawasaki. Also easier to get from (in the day) Jim @ smackover and now go Fasters. Since I had no local dealer till a couple weeks ago.

Yea. i was gonna say my 07 GasGas parts are typically cheaper than my YZ250 parts were. Honestly I was blown away by how cheap and easy GasGas parts are to get. I think you need to make a phone call to get some actual prices. I know the fork/dust seals for my 50mm Marzocchi's are only $30

Yep what they said...

X2, I just recieved my seals for my 45 zokes from Synergy Seals, $40.00.

But, I do have to say that the crank case/cylinder gasket sets are alot more than my Kawa or honda.
