On 11th of this month H-D revised their parts prices again......one item of note is the later/revised oil pump drive gear......it's gone from £58.22 incl. vat to.......£106.09 incl. vat :shock: :x

Call me cynical but surely this couldn't be anything to do with the recent surge of demand for this part due to the increasing number of failures of the old/flawed design.

Talk about kicking your customers whilst they're down :evil:

Don't worry, Victory will soon be nicking their customers.
Not my cup of tea, but the people who've bought them love them.

How much interest would there be if they (HD part number 26391-06) were around £60 each plus postage?
