I agree 100% Craig, it's a lot of chedder for one nut. I could understand the cost better if it was titanium, but it's not. The reason I got it was I needed one, and the OEM nut is $28 :blink: So, for a couple bucks extra I got the cooler looking one

:laugh: I'll point you to the right nut source Ben 
You'll laugh, but I bought it off a seller on Amazon :ohmy: The nut was $22 and change and shipping was $8 and change. Total cost shipped was about $32, which was cheaper than I could find anywhere else.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031B9SFI/ref=oss_product
There is no picture, but I cross referenced the part number with Yoshimura's catalog. Happy shopping Ben

Not that the left side looks any different, but I liked how the light was hitting the tank in this pic, it highlighted the carbon weave nicely
