CrazyHorse Posted January 20, 2009 #3 Posted January 20, 2009 I heard a radio ad today for HD anouncing price slashes. Couple years ago you wouldnt have heard that.
Dano Posted January 21, 2009 #4 Posted January 21, 2009 MamaYama also raised their current parts prices, some up 30% (Clutch boss for MK1-- $64 last year--- $95 now! Glad I broke mine last year!). Gotta make it up somewhere.
