Those items are easily sourced at tons of places online and certainly not worth it paying that kind of silliness. I just went to Alex's cycle in Japan and added a small Nitto front rack and configued shipping to Ohio, $32 shipping. So whatever BL is charging is what they charge, as with ANY retailer in any country for anything. I shop all sort of places, some with free shipping above a certain amount, some a flat fee. At the end of the day it's just a number. Some places one can get everything, some if not most not. It's always been that way even before the internet was invented, where everything was done at a local store or via catalog mail order. There's so many online shops around, and for any that close it seems a multitude opens.
