g.forrest Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 it seems if you live down the bottom here you don't need one is it gravity.
Guest mnv11 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Ack!!! Budget for a set of big end shells if it's happened more than a couple of times but the plates are $175AU inc postage to the US of A. Pete Yeah, I better have one. Let me know what you need to get it here, I can pay-pal the $$ if that works.
Baldini Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 PETE ROPER! Tried emailing you - bounces it back, pm'd you too. wanted to check all UK payments were credited to your account no problems? PM me or email. Cheers, Keith
pete roper Posted April 17, 2007 Author Posted April 17, 2007 it seems if you live down the bottom here you don't need one is it gravity. I know some people never seem to get the 'Flickering oil light of death' and I'm at a loss to know why? I can't see there being sufficient difference in the sump or pick-up manufacture. I tend to think that maybe it is down to the pressure sender's sensitivity, maybe some people just keep their oil a little bit over the full mark and that is sufficient to prevent pick-up exposure? Perhaps some people just don't ride hard enough for it to happen but I really do have no firm idea. I think though that it has been adequately demonstrated that the pick-up can be exposed and when this happens you do get a period of time when pressure drops to zero which is NOT a good thing. Independent testing would seem to indicate that the plate cures the problem which makes me happy 'cos it proves I'm not a complete dolt Pete PETE ROPER! Tried emailing you - bounces it back, pm'd you too. wanted to check all UK payments were credited to your account no problems? PM me or email. Cheers, Keith Sorry Keith! Brain still in jetlag mode. Yup, all funds etc. recieved. I'll PM you. Pete Oh, spoke to the plate manufacturer yesterday, since the first batch was made the material has increased in price by 80%. They did have some old stock of 1.6mm plate rather than the 2mm I was using before so we're doing the next run in that. It is still about 35% more costly than the 1st run but I'll wear that. Next run after this though will be considerably more expensive. Pete
gargoyle Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Ok so I've printed out everything on these little beauties, read it all and I'd like to get one. What will the cost be to the US for zip code 60050. I can Paypal the funds as soon as I know the answer.

As said elsewhere I'm currently having another batch made, I'll post as soon as they're ready. Pete
WitchCityBallabio Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Just a couple of quick questions... Do you need to know the specific model and year V11 we are ordering for, or are they all the same? and... Would you prefer I hold off ordering one from you until the next batch is done so you can see if there is going to be an adjustment in price? Thanks, Doug
Lamedog Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Pete: Believe I got the PayPal thing figgered out. Advise if otherwise. Thanks in advance for my very own sloppy sheet. Looks like my waitin' has saved a few ounces with the new, lighter weight, "racing sloppy". I'll go have another cookie...... Dennis
todd haven Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I have a few of Pete's plates available if someone in the US is doing the Spring get-ready-to-ride routine. Please e-mail Todd mphcycles.com International shipping is a PITA, so Pete sold me a few in a bulk package. I believe Greg at MI is also carrying this fine item.
pete roper Posted April 19, 2007 Author Posted April 19, 2007 Yup, if MI and MPH still have them and you want to get moving quick they are probably your best bet. The new run should be ready in a week to 10 days but if these guys still have 'em? Buy from them. Not an issue with me, they've paid me already. Pete
Guest mnv11 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Ordered mine through MPH today, so you can take me off the list. Can't wait!
gargoyle Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Ordered mine through MPH today, so you can take me off the list. Can't wait! Me too :!: I emailed, Todd replied quickly, I called and ordered. I guess it's time to change the oil.
