I had to fight to get some of the prices down to where they are/were.
As an example, when the MC28 cranks first became available to us again, it was me who insisted we only sold them at the official Honda price (which was £425+VAT at the time) because it was morally wrong to mark them up. I felt bad for TYGA, who just a year earlier had bought what they believed to be (and possibly were, at the time) the very last cranks Honda had in existence, which they needed to sell for well over $1000. While we seemed to be the only people able to get them for some reason, you could still price-check the part number on sites like Lings and Fowlers, and would've been crucified on every available platform by the small-minded freeloaders. Even now GTPE are still selling at official Honda prices, with no additional markup.
Needless to say, regardless of my efforts, they still slag Performance Engineering and NSR-WORLD off on an almost daily basis... while plaigerising both! I'm glad they are starting to be seen for what they truly are. If I'm still alive and kicking in 20 years, I'll be interested to see how many of them are still supporting the community!
