So I found out from a friend. Didn't know those things were that expensive.

Try buying in Australia Hoss . It's cruelty. 

I can only imagine. Are higher costs mostly due to shipping or tariffs?

I was quoted $700 AUD down under for an imported after market Comp ramp.

That's $455 USD or $625 CAD.

AU $100 buys USA $ 63 .
Plus 10% tax on parts and shipping. The bank transfer fee. It Sucks . 

Does income also relate to the dollar exchange rate? If someone earns $63k USD, does that mean Australian earning is $100k AUS?

Not sure on how the wages compare here to USA . 

Mine will just have to wait until it fails or shows significant it then the warranty will take care of it. Solid for now.

I'm assuming most failures attributed to power increases above and beyond stock?

Stock power levels present little to no issues to the stock drivetrain.

A friend of mine bought a new m8 softail when they came out and it broke into 3 pieces before it left the lot. Guessing they had a bad lot of them rather than it being an ongoing problem or there'd be dead bikes on the side of the road everywhere in August

They break on stock bikes also . My nephew works at the dealership. 

I just had mine break on a 2022 FLHTK with stage 1, just air cleaner and slip on mufflers. Broke on the freeway and acted like the clutch wasn't holding
