Default cost of quad parts

related to the post"Holy cow breaks are expensive" the cost of almost all parts it is crazy, I recently got rid of my mud boggin truck because of the price of gas and bought a 93 warrior thinking less cost, but damn a complete duel exhaust with muffelers for my truck cost less than a slip on muffler for my Quad, brake pads for the truck, less, oil filter for the truck, less and it is about 10 times bigger than the one for the quad, I guess the atv parts buisness would be a good buisness to get into, its like buying a 20 oz soda for $1.50 and a 2ltr. of soda for $.99, makes no sence

one of the reason everything is so much is because they have to recoop the cost to develop it and they dont sell a crazy ammount of units like a car or truck maker would so they need to make more per unit.
