I bought out a couple of dealers' stock, and if you saw the pricing they paid Norton for parts, you wouldn't say that. Dealers paid the prices plus the shipping and customs for their stock, so no, the prices are not "very high". Sadly they also bought tons of Brembo levers etc, through Norton instead of going with the USA distributor as well. So some stuff certainly overpaid but again, until Norton starts selling parts, a New in the BOX tank goes for what it is, as well as gears and other unobtainium parts will list higher.
I have two sets of spoked wheels, complete with discs, sprockets etc. that I haven't listed simply because they are expensive to ship, and I might need them at some point. The same goes for a crankcase and crank.
But here is a thought. Try being a little more positive about things. I've sold more parts to forum members that needed them instead of hoarding them for my customers, so at least try to appreciate that some parts are available. Also, there are parts out there that just have to ask the right people and of course pay what they are asking. Thats the fun of owning a low-production volume vehicle.
I have some Alibaba bolts Im going to list as well. I forgot to add them to the Parts List as well!
