Default Fawking daylight ass raping!

So I'm in the process of rebuilding my bike for the upcoming Spring and Summer. I needed this ONE bolt, so of course I go online to order it, as ordering it at a local dealership would be suicide.

This ONE bolt came out to $4 with $9 shipping and some small tax. Came out to almost $14 for one stupid bolt. This is daylight raping.

It would have probably been cheaper at your dealer

i agree... kind of like ordering from Majestic for something cheap instead of just going to the local honda dealership and skipping the shipping and handling charges....
