That's actually a good price for what you get, especially the instrument bezel (which is a little large for my tastes, but looks to be good quality) the seat support structure, the bodywork and the lights.

A new 7" headlight, taillight and turn signals alone will retail for at least $150, and any decent-quality upholstered cafe seat costs at least $150.

And their kit includes a new front tire, another $100.

Keep in mind that you should be able to get $300 or more for your old bodywork, seat and lights.

Given all that, it's a good price for the kit.

I like how they've apparently used the existing frame lugs (where the tank and the rear seat latch are located) to mount their seat platform, giving the seat a lower, more classic profile without requiring any tube bending or welding on the owner's part.
