Price of parts: "commentary there on"
Has any one noticed the price & type difference between different
parts suppliers for parts like seats, gages, fenders etc. I am starting
to search out some replacement parts and have noticed a large
variation in materials and prices; even for the same materials.
I guess it simply comes down to """SHOP AROUND: HOLD YOUR
MONEY AND MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE"". My e mail is open.

Fellows:
some of the prices I have seen are for parts made in the US and are lower that what I would take to be ""imports"". Some of these parts are 'NOTED' to be made in "Ilinois" at lest the ones I am interested in. At least I Hope the information is correct!

Guys, remember one thing. When making parts of any type, you have to setup "tooling" and materials specifically to that part. Setup costs are not cheap. then, you run a batch of them to get the unit cost down. Many times, whether they are made in the US or over seas, one company will run the parts. Then, multiple suppliers will buy them for retail sale.

It is all driven by unit cost. If a large parts supplier buys 1000 seats, they get a better unit cost that a Mom and Pop place that buys 20.

So, if the retail seller is being honest about origin of the part (USA, China, India, etc), the price they offer to you is a reflection of what they paid for it.

So, shop price and place of mfg.
