That doesn't look like a 500 primary drive gear Ash (bottom pic), to me that looks like the clutch basket. The primary drive rubbers are still available and simple to change and a LOT cheaper than he's quoting, however if that's the damper in the back of the clutch basket (never had one go on a 500 but hey they do age like everything else) then it may be like the 400 clutch basket repairs that were on the site last year. Interesting if it is a clutch repair kit though.
