Yes, the cost for the kits are quite high, but understandable to me. The company is giving you an electric actuator to operate the throttle cables, extra throttle cables, a bike specific wiring harness set to know speed / engine rpm / and other things and make everything communicate, a device to read engine vacuum, an ECU to control it all, a switch panel on the handlebars to control the ECU, and likely a significant amount of time invested in control algorithm coding to make it all work smoothly just like in a car. That's a lot of stuff, so while I wish the kits were cheaper too, I understand why they cost what they do.
Anyway, I thought it was worth a shot to ask if anyone else had an interest. If lots were interested I was hoping we might initiate a group buy to get him to make a kit if x orders could be guaranteed. But I suspect if I decide to go with a CB1100, I will just use a crampbuster paddle.
