theres no way they could or it will ever sell for less than $220. look how many more parts are having to be made. its a custom roller bearing, needle bearing, tail housing, oil seal, gear, and flange. not just a chromo'd factory replacement. if it drops in price i dont see it getting lower $400. all in all, once you buy it, your DONE and never have to worry again about inputs or outputs. THEN what becomes the weak link is the teeth like r/p gears. its always something......
