Dibs if has already been made and isn't spoken for

So far one spot opened up, but I'm not confortable taking further deposits until this things come to fruition.

if anyone drops out I would love to swoop in and get a set of these, if they ever actually come to fruition

Mortadella with olives in it :)

I'm yet to hear from Federico.

theres an actual town or city named after my favorite sammich ?

i must visit bologna, maybe even move there.

lol, well in Italy it's called mortadella. I guess Americans call it boloney, baloney, or bologna because that's where it originates from.

Unfortunately there was another earthquake in Italy yesterday in the same region as the one that happened 10 days ago (near Bologna). Frank, do you know if the shop that is building the headers is in or near the region where the earthquakes have happened?

Any updates? It's been about 3 weeks since we've had any.

Just want to reitearte that refunds are available inmediatley for whomever wants them.

exactly. Even with this in mind, it's a risk. If you didn't think that going in, I have a bridge and a big chicken to sell you. Those of you who are upset need to calm down. If you think waiting this long for a set of nla headers is tough, try waiting for custom made parts. Lauren know what I'm talking about.... these things take time. We aren't dealing with a factory that is pumping thousands of these things out a day. If you don't like it back the f^&k out.

Here, here sir! Cheerio and all that.

I have been tuning and building Ducati motorcycles for the last decade and a half. Part of that game is dealing with Italian suppliers and i would like to calm and encourage those of you that are getting stressed out with the delay. Time in Italy is nothing like it is over here and when you order a part that is not physically on the shelf ready to ship, there is no accurate time estimate. It is not personal, it's just the way it is.

In my experience the best way to deal with it is to forget you ordered the part in the first place and then you will be pleasantly surprised when it shows up. OP is staying in touch with Federico so you the buyer can rest easy and wait for the awesomeness to arrive.

I know this is not typical internet instant gratification but you are asking for and getting hand made, new, Italian RD headers that aren't available. Hell, they had to make new jigs to build these headers for you guys!

I'm sure glad some of you guys know old continent schedules and holiday fares.

Currently dealing with japanese buyers and their marine products suppliers, I'm their intermidiary as they dont get Latin America's working hour's/habits.
Pair-up robotic behaviourist with siesta heads, oh my :)

yesterday fired up another "any updates" email to Federico, no answer as of this afternoon yet.

thanks again.

Well said. I'm American, I was born in Germany (Dad was government) and raised mostly in France and some Spain and England too. I'm not close to worrying yet.

I would imagine at this point whoever is making the headers should be able to give a firm date. I know that Frank said the headers should be in SoCal by months end. Last week Federico said that they should be ready shortly. I'm just hoping that this week we get to hear that they should be shipped by the end of the week...
