I really can't agree with you on the point "they can charge whatever they want". No one is forced to buy anything from these guys and they still have to price something for it to move.
When Brent or Eddy go and make a new product they don't just make ten, they make hundreds. No in their right mind would put out their own money and then price something beyond what people would want to pay for it, then you are stuck with all of this product and can't get your money back.
I do agree that some of the items are pricier than something comparable from another source but that is due to numbers. Where Kuryakyn makes an item and then produces it in the thousands. Chroming alone on a big batch like that would be cheaper because of the bulk discount.
I don't think our guys are making a killing in profits but I hope they are making enough for them to want to keep doing it.
