Usually non-stock/special order items that I've ordered (from my dealer and AJ Sutton) take three working days to arrive with them. All the engine parts, cycle parts and most of the electrics on the XT are made in, and stocked in the EU. There is nothing that needs to come from Japan apart from the ECU and a handful of other fuel injection/ignition/immobiliser related parts.

If Minarelli don't have the egine parts you need in stock in Italy, then you've obviously got to factor in a manufacturing lead time, and that I wouldn't like to guess at.
