$65 a pair on the website for front or rear, so $65 x 3 = $195 + tax. So $210 sounds about right.

You're shocked that Harley charges more for OEM parts?

MoCo uses a pricing strategy called "sneaker equivilency". Everything is priced as though it is a tennie runner as Dingus (aka sneaker boy) cannot adapt to his new industry.
A set of break pads = one pair of semi collectables, or $210.
A RG ST = signed Jordan originals.

I just decided to be a guinea pig. I bought 3 sets of pads (2 front and 1 rear) off of fleabay for $22.00. That's about 1/3 the price of 1 set of oem. I am curious as to how these compare to oem. I think we all know the answer already. I normally don't get cheap on stuff cuz ya get what ya pay for but it's only brake pads. What's the worst that can happen?
