It always seems short sighted to me to stick the consumable prices through the roof, thats when people start going to aftermarket, for example with brake pads, I prefer OEM but not to the point where I'm going to pay twice as much as say EBC. The same goes for all the other parts, its all very well charging £50 for fork seals (yes really, thats how much the hayabusa ones are) but are they really going to last 5 times longer than the £10 aftermarket ones?

Once people start down the Aftermarket is OK route and start going elsewhere its then far harder to get those customers back, if nothing else because it creates a market *for* aftermarket parts.
