Pete Roper V11 slosh trays now available!

Interesting that arrivals are similar in these different parts of the world.

 

I put down the $12 value because it's a "sample" and so taxes and duties should be minimal. 

Hope the German charges are minimal.

Will get onto the charitable donation for Pete shortly ands I'll advise when done.

I can get one done fast but the set up cost increases the price 

[Guzzi-in-Vancouver]

I am in for one if there's any going!

I think I'm looking at about €14,-. Customs want something like €7.50, and the post wants a €6.00 handling charge.

That's Germany. If you don't like it, go and live somewhere else...

Sorry to hear that... seems a little crazy...

 

I received a pm from Musto wanting a plate and there seems to be need for at least one other.

 

If we could get a few more it would help bring the unit cost down and I'd be happy to help out... but it may take a little time to accumulate enough requests...

You can put me down for one.  No problem waiting for a critical mass of takers.

Yeah, no worries mate. Like I wrote, that's Germany. I've been here about 27 years. I'm used to it.

Apologies for the radio silence this past few weeks but had to travel to NZ to sell a house and pack shit up.

 

Back in Seattle now.

Just posting to say the donation to Medecins Sans Frontiers has been made, as requested by Mr. Roper.

Pete, I can email you the donation confirmation if you like... the amount was $220 USD.

I've just ordered plates from a new supplier, when I recieve the samples I'll know if they're as good as in the past. I think they will be, based on my last business with them, and may well be less expensive, too. 
I can order singles, or any quantity- of course they're far less expensive when ordering more. 

Anyone waiting in the wings, raise your hands.

My initial order is 2, if they're good one goes in mine and you get the other one. By then I should know whether there's more interest offstage.

I'm interested, but I also have some trepidation about another "project" I might never complete...

[PhillipLarsen]

I installed a Roper plate recently and found it was not a very big project. 
Make sure to have the needed two upper sump gaskets and one lower sump gasket on hand ( if you are going to install with gaskets), and I got a spare of each just in case one would get damaged. Lucky I ordered the extra as one arrived at dealer torn due to being poorly packaged by Piagio. The gaskets are inexpensive.

With the extra thickness of the Roper plate and one extra upper gasket I found it necessary to modify the side stand mount by making the two bolt holes slightly oval and to provide clearance for the the bolt heads to accommodate the repositioned bolt location in the fitting. I used a Dremel with grinder bit. See photo of modified fitting in Gallery Pictures.
Also slightly trimmed back to allow fitting to move down to align bolt holes.
I thought it was best to ensure the slightly repositioned fitting is not putting any different side loads on the cam case or sump.
