I'm sure the Pulleys don't cost that much to make out there are more factors that go into it that cost of material. You could have a machine shop whip up some pulleys for a couple of hundred bucks. Then if something goes wrong or breaks then where are you at.

Is the fact that these are tried and true belt drives and a lot of time is invested to make sure that they work properly and they function like they should. If something would go wrong Ozzie is responsible for that. Its more factors than just how much does it cost to make. Thats goes for just about anything for sale in the world market. A new car doesn't cost 20k to make. The belt drives are not made by just some machinist who is copying a design and has no responsibility to the customer except cost. This is a life-long Triumph owner, racer, dealer who knows the product inside and out.

No worries or offense taken. I understand your points and agree with them to a point. It just seems to me that he's taken a bit of a liberty with the profit margin based on what you get.
