Must suck to have Buddies like that. :laugh: No seriously, how much for a turbo header that terminates just outside the front of the frame?

Heh, heh, heh! Ya, I'm a lucky dude fo sho!! Must be clean living or something like that! :lol:

O'k... answers to questions.

No pic of the collector Leon... yet! I'll get on that! It's a 4 into 2, into 1 set up.

Yup, stainless steel Zedone.

The shop that made this pipe is a production shop making hundreds of pipes for dozens of different bikes. As a rule, they don't build custom pipes. That is what's so cool about getting this one done! My source says they've built maybe 6 custom sets in 20 years. now. There is a chance we might see a production run of pipes like this in the future. Stay tuned. ;) I know that's not the answer you were likely hoping for Testarossa, but...

Ya, I have some GREAT friends! That's the best part of a hobby like this! The friends you can make! I have no idea what a turbo header like what you describe would cost. Sorry jydog!!

Thanks again for the encouragement guys! Can't wait til April!! :laugh:

You know... I look at all your bikes and feel exactly the same way!! Great builds that I'd love to own!

Nice pipe Drew.
Looking forward to hearing her.
Gotta talk more about this pipe, as one or both of my 650s will need one.

Hey Rob! Nice pic! ;)

Unfortunately, there are no plans (at the moment) to build any more pipes. We'll see if that changes. I'll be sure to let you and the gang know! B)
