Also there are only a few places capable of making it. You can be assured that no motorcycle aftermarket company makes their own... they are just buying it and cutting it into their desired shape.

Sometimes chemistry takes a lot of shit to do something. People wonder why a little pill could cost a ton. They forget that the pharmaceutical companies might have had to use 10gallons of expensive shit to make their little pill. Then some just want a lot of money too.
I wonder how much this beast costs. All Carbon Fiber Lamborghini...

That is a Bugatti. You should be ashamed of yourself. A Lambo would shit all over that Bugatti in terms of styling.
