Oh, i dunno. They gotta make a buck, and take my experience with the triump monopoly for example.......whats wrong with $43 for a replacment steering lock KEY? After all, a key must be really tough to make and the materials alone have gotta be what, 5 to 10 cents? So i'd like to thank triumph too. Without them i'd have had enough money for dinner tonite, and god knows i need to lose weight, so the triumph monopoly has been a blessing ! Right now i'm saving up for a replacemnet screw. Hopefully by summer........
