Peace sports greed?
Is it just me, but every time I want to order from peace sports, they increase the price on parts? I was going to order a cylinder head to have port and polish for my brozz, in the morning it was $39, that afternoon it was $49, WTF? I know harley davidson used to pull this crap....

$49 is still a bargain by most other standards. I paid that much for my no-name poor quality head a couple of years ago. The Brozz head is much improved over the Hawk or my previously mentioned head, and the TT250 head is almost 90 bucks.

In Peace Sports defense ,and without getting political which is a no no on this site, the current Trade friction and state of Tariff flux between the US and China has caused a lot of new Tariff increases and the percentage on what wasn't real clear and I'm sure that Dealers are still trying to adjust category by category to the increased prices , but as Dan mentioned ,yeah i get $49 is more than $39., but $49 is still way less than a comparable Japanese Cylinder head would likely run you and the TT250 head is $90.
I understand your position but I've just not seen anything yet that would indicate Peace repeatedly being shown to be jacking prices up for no reason , I in fact feel bad for Dealers who seem to be doing their best to establish a good reputation who were caught in the recent Trade /Tariff mess ,they really dont have a choice other than to raise prices to compensate for an already small profit margin and it is coming at a bad time for them. I hope Peace is able to weather things, especially now with the COVID19 shut downs thrown in on top ,they seem to be good guys overall and have supported this site.

Peace does good business. I got my head in 6 days, right smack in the middle of the lockdown. I'd cut em' some slack on $10, it's definitely still worth it.

It's just not not the price increase by 25% on the cylinder head, it's also the $20 to ship it, I know what shipping costs are, I ship ups and FedEx every day. I went to order the up graded swing arm 2 months ago same scenario, $55 one day, $75 the next, seems to be a pattern. Though you guys are right they dont have bad customer service, I've emailed them several times, about items, with no return email, I'm willing to spend money, hell I bought my bike from them. Hey, I might be wrong, I think they see the popularity of a item, and just like the oil companies, capitalise on it.

Also, keep in mind that the price of freight from China has shot up as of late, and supply of some parts is low. So prices are going to change, and they have to adjust as a business. I have yet to see anything untoward about any of the prices of the items they offer for sale. Want to see price gouging on parts, look at what RPS/TXPowersports charges for a wheel assembly with the shitty steel rims. $145. Compare that to what Peace Sports asks for a wheel (60 bucks, ish). Even if they jumped the price to 90 bucks, it's still a decent deal, and probably reflects a more true price of said wheel. As far as their shipping prices. They are a bit on the high side, but not too unrealistic for larger boxed items.
