Suzuki Dealers - reasonable price?
I bought a spare set of callipers for my GSXR and stripped and cleaned them and. The piston seals are good but the dust seals were only OK. I kept the originals but they were sticky taking them out to clean.
I thought it might be a good idea to replace all 4 rubber dust seals in each calliper, so that's 8 in total. Popped in to my local Suzuki dealer and they said it would be £34, which I though was a bit steep for 8 rubber rings. They guy then explained that was for 2, for 8 I'd have to pay £136. For 8 little rubber rings. Now, is that reasonable and I'm just getting old and out of touch with costs, or does that sound a little expensive to you!  To be fair, I looked at the microfische and you get the piston seals as well as the dust seals, but they wont sell dust seals on their own.
