So yesterday I decided to get my one allocated bike drop out of the way. I was leaving my carport and the dirt/gravel driveway combo took the bike right out from under me. Buggered up the left crankcase cover pretty good and I decided to go ahead and buy a replacement now even if I don't install it. Coming from the vintage Honda world, I know that once a part is dropped from production, NOS or nice used parts can get hella-expensive. I'm looking at the hondapartshouse fiche and they have the metal cover for $94.63 (not bad, considering), but then I notice that the plastic sprocket cover is $136.89. In what universe does it make sense that a piece of plastic would cost $40 more than a comparably-sized metal part? I guess I just don't understand
