But in all seriousness, anyone who knows what it costs to setup and operate a cnc machine, the time it takes to design parts as models and output code, the price of materials, etc. knows that there's no cheap way to build these kinds of parts. And there's no BETTER way either.
If you think the price is too high, don't turn the waterworks on or fill your panties....just don't buy them and opt to build your own. Afterall, if you're such a badass you should be building all your own parts, casting your own bottom ends, extruding your own tubing, and scratch building your world famous choppers anyhow, right?
Or you can do like the rest of us do and utilize what the guys out there building stuff have to offer to save some time. I don't care if that means buying from me, from mullins, etc.
