Default parts prices

has anyone noticed that suzuki have raised their parts prices by 100+%

i understand them raising prices because of the exchange rates but c'mon 100%. i think someone has made a big mistake and added a 0 to the end of the percentage.

for instance: part number 45100-16G91-W05 lowered seat is now £85.59 it was £39 last year.

You'll have plenty of change from £89 if you buy a staple gun and some sharp blades and lower the seat yourself

It'd be cheaper to get Tony Archer to modify your seat

i know. i'm just moaning about suzuki raising their prices so much within 1 year. its not just the seat, i priced a disc that i knew was £120 last year it is now £256 for the exact same part. it seems to be right across the board, i may be wrong but this is usually a sign of a company about to go under.
