Just read this new post on another site.
Gentlemen - two weeks ago, Terry Vance pulled the BR 2-1's from production as he wanted to make another change in the design. Am told he's been a real thorn to the V&H's engineers' as everytime they think they've got it "right", he comes up with another design change. This has been going on for nearly 2 YEARS now! They are running dyno tests DAILY on all these changes.
Bottom line - Terry Vance believes this is the absolute best pipe ever designed in their companies history (or for the entire industry for that matter), and he wants it to be "right" the first time, not the second or third. Best info I've gotten, is were probably 2 months away from the first shipments as once the "final" design is approved, it takes nearly 90 days to get it from the molds to the packaging dept. However, in this case, a lot of that pre-production work has already been completed.
For what it's worth, V&H's is VERY much aware of the marketplace and very much aware that they are loosing sales every day this pipe gets delayed. As disturbing as it is (I've got one on order too), maybe the attage "good things happen for those that wait" will apply to this issue?
Hmmmmm, I hate it a company teases us with products and cant deliver on time.
