Default Pricing despairity on levers

Why is there just a price despairity between after market levers and those from Harley? I'm sure Harley's are better quality but does it really matter?

For the same reason that they charge 40 dollars for a primary chain case gasket....there is always someone too lazy to look for a better price...

From what I've seen replaced the cheap one don't last, they're thinner and fit loose and the pivot holes wears open pretty quickly. Other than that they're great.
