Cost was more than I wanted to pay.  They stamp their name and logo on the parts and charge 25% more for that.  That's my guess.
I have dumped my bike and they do there job.

I must have gotten a pair that was stamped and drilled from the factory on a Friday afternoon (after a "liquid lunch").      :-P

I have the Devol guards and they work fine. I did not install them the guy I bought the bike from installed them just before I got it.

I passed on the Devols, as I hear they aggrivate overheating as a result from mud sticking to the outer guard. (not an issue if you don't ride in mud, obviously)

Danger4u2:
  I find that the stock plastic guards work fine.  With the devol guards the stock guards have to be removed and the devol guards mount up aganst the radiator blocking half of the air that would pass through with the stock guards.  I don't do much mud riding on the KX but the mud I have been in stuck to the stock plastic guards and did not make it to the radiator fins.
