Default California Registration Cost, call me an ambulance!

I have the 17 FXDLS in my signature, and just got my first registration renewal. $684 for ONE YEAR???

Any of you have new HD's and are paying unreasonable registration? DMV is stonewalling me on why it's so high. Here's the breakdown:
Registration Fee- 42
License Fee- 549
Weight Fee- 0
Special Plate Fee- 42 (I have a personalized tag)
County/District Fees- 10
Owner Responsibility Fee- 0

That's $684. My 15 Subaru didn't cost that much the first year, and the second is up right now for $412. For reference, my 99 Sporty was $118 last year.

What are you paying a year, and what do you ride? If everyone else with a 16/17 HD is paying this much then I'm going to suck it up and pay, but if this is irregular I'm going to have to start dealing with Sacramento.

Gotta pay for the illegals somehow, Badvivo.
LA made $1.3B in illegal immigrant welfare payouts in just 2 years

Interesting. I'm a San Diego County resident, so it's not like I live in the cheap boondocks. My new '17 Road King, that I bought 7/1/17, cost $228 for 1 year registration.
