That does seem excessive ! I only noticed because of my 380j restoration which is taking far longer than I would have liked,over the last two years asking prices for certain parts do seem to have doubled or tripled.Early slotted horn is one(if you can find one)or the black plastic chainguard,not many early type airboxes about either and those I`ve seen are expensive.

That really is taking the P.
Twin air horns are better on a 550, or a pair of wind tones hidden under the tank, and a chrome chainguard looks lovely on my 550J!
Must ebay the black plaggy one sometime........

You`re probably right about the chainguard Alan,I don`t mind if a bike is`nt quite `correct`down to the last nut and bolt and a bit of `bling` hurts no one.I particularly like the paint job Kev did for your 550 with the glitter finish-looks superb. After all,we all fitted what we thought were `go faster`parts back in the day-I fitted a set of allspeeds and K&Ns to my GT250 and it never ran properly again!

My kettle has a dragon scale paint job and it definitely goes much faster

Dragon scale.....more like a dinosaur scale. And the paint job is just as heavy as the rider.......

Cheers Kev,that looks pretty reasonable compared to one or two I've seen advertised.
