I'll never understand Honda parts pricing...

Thanks, my plastic cover is just fine though. It's the metal crankcase cover that took the fall. I only mentioned the sprocket cover because I don't understand why it is more expensive than the metal crankcase cover which I assume is more complex/expensive to manufacture.

some guys have replaced the plastic cover with metal ones so they may have their old ones laying around you can pick up at a substantial discount. CB4ME and Chip Beck come to mind.
