Don't buy them. What about CF JDM fenders for $3500?

Side strake = worthless

Make your own HT stand = $40 from Home Depot using blueprints on s2ki.com

Not supply and demand, just accessory pricing normality. Everyone pinches every nickle and dime from the "core arrangement" and rakes in the gravy on extras. Part of it is that the volume sucks, and part of it is that a certain segment of the market just isn't price sensitive to $500 added to a $30,000 car or a half million dollar hydraulic excavator. You get the same thing with x-ray machines, houses, plant air-compressor systems, stand by generator sets, pretty much anything expensive.

I dont know if Honda would sell three times as many hard top stands if they dropped the price to $250, and they don't either... and they don't care.

Go to Miller's website (they make wreckers) and check out what the bells and whistles cost... or better yet, configure a skid-steer or D7 at cat.com. It's obscene.

hard top guy is 359.22 for the side strakes and 495 for the hard top stand. majestic honda has the side strakes for 320.26 and the hard top stand for 409.37. majestic usually has the best prices around on parts and accessories usually. even cheaper then h-and-a accessories. good luck on your search.
