Pete Roper Windage Plates.. Who here was making some...?
« on: November 21, 2019, 05:10:35 PM »

I have been collecting parts to use on the V1000 Convert that I brought home a few weeks ago and bought a new sump spacer thinking that I had  another Roper plate...  ahh, no, I had installed in something already.

So, who was it here that had Pete's blessing to fab some plates...?  I would like one please.

Thanks,
Rob

The plates being made are for the 'Broad Sump' models, specifically the V11 although they will fit Centaurus, Sport i's and Daytona RS's too. With a sump extension on a 'Vert a baffle plate is pretty redundant. I wouldn't bother with one.

There are times in ones life where they have to strive for money, and times when it becomes less important. An honest man that know when to do which easily stands out and gains much respect from those witnessing his actions.
The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!

And, even more, a man who needs money and yet turns it down, deserves the most respect.
