Is $250 a fair price for RVF400 bottom right side panel?

Is this a fair price for this panel in this condition? A shop here in Melbourne is asking $250 for this bottom right side panel. Condition is nice but it's not perfect.

Not if DM's pricing is right!

You can use NC30 lowers as well..

I wouldn't pay more than £80 for a MINT, perfect condition lower, never-mind £163.

I didn't realise the 30 lowers were the same fit as the 35.

Don't put it like that...lol - you know your onions!

As far as I am aware - the only shared panel on the NC30/35 is the lowers. The others are not compatible.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll try to wheel and deal with them today when I go by to pick it up. They charge $250 per panel so that works out to 1250 for a full front set! I'm kinda at their mercy because it's the only panel I need replacing and the best one I've found so far by looking. Might have to hold my nose while getting reamed up the butt.
