Hmmmm, it just depends on how much you have done, how much you have spent and how long you have searched, etc etc,.. I know I didn't balk at paying US$500 for the front number plate for the 125G because I had searched for 6 years and had never seen one come up, and never seen one since so for me it was "deal done" no hessitation.

Don't suppose you happened to lend it to VMXPlastics before putting it on that awesome resto  ::) ::)
I think I am one of the few that understand why you would pay that.  The end result says it all for mine.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

Scott got the one that was almost perfect and only slightly used, and way good enough for a sample to have them reproduced. ;)

You are a good man Darren.  Thousands will benefit 8)  If G and H are the same (which off the top of my head I think they are) I'll be a happy man.

Anyway back to the Hondas.

well here's another example of crazed prices..this I see happen all the time and this part is definately still available under $5au from your local Suzuki dealer. Insanity at it's best and not the sellers fault at all as he only mentioned it's genuine not rare or unobtainium, I'll bet my life there are PE killswitches and CR killswitches out there somewhere if you persist in searching long established dealers stock both here and abroad and if you did find one my bet is you'd get it at a far better price than anything on offer with ebay ;) I know where there are the fabled nos TM125mag covers and 0.50 RM400 rings but getting them here is too expensive due to the sellers shipping policy..a policy which he stubbornly will not alter regardless ::)

VMX247 20ish for a cable is pretty good. Even 'if' it is a few bucks cheaper at a dealer you still have to drive through traffic to get there and chances are they will have to order it which reqires a deposit hence a return trip to collect the cable..time time time hassle bugger it..Ebay and $20ish delivered to your door says you've done well!

Wooo!  sell all eight and you will be able to buy that deperately needed original wheel-spinner knock-off hammer for the 250 Ferrari.

If you thought that K/Switch was X'y, how about this Ebay gem.....
