I have to set up a paypal or venmo account for payment so will get that done shortly. As to the time it has taken to do this, I appreciate the comment but I am embarrassed that it took this long. Should have been done in half the time. Back to you all early next week.

2mm stainless steel received today. Give me a couple days to figure out a packing method and check them individually. Will update early next week.

Plates should be ready this Friday but we are expecting some solid snow here in Seattle at the end of this week, so I will have to see how the roads are that day. Will keep you all posted.

Waterjet guys are back from the Christmas break and an order has been placed for plates in 2mm stainless steel. Will update as soon as they are ready.

All good info to have,... now,.... thanks! Seems as though the material MUST be 2 mm stainless then..... oh boy.. Back to everyone in a few days after I talk to the waterjet guys.

OK Wish I had understood this earlier. Plates need to be as thin as possible then. Let me think about this.

I just came back to the screen here after unpacking them and checking the dimensions and the idiots at the waterjet facility cut them from the same 3/16" thick material as my other parts, not the 3mm material (aluminum) I requested. I'll be calling them as soon as they reopen to get it fixed. I should have opened them and inspected them when I picked them up but you expect these people to get things right. But footgoose... you make me ask if there was a prior issue with thickness?? surely a mm or so here or there isn't a deal breaker ... but if there is past experience i am unaware of please tell me asap... Thnaks

Just curious if many people on this forum go to the annual Guzzi get togethers? Next year it is in John Day Oregon end of June I think. A fantastic riding area...

Apologies for the delay but had work issues to deal with and the plates have been ready for a couple weeks.... Behold the beauty of the world famous Roper Plate. I'll be getting some packaging material sorted out for these next week so I can start shipping out shortly thereafter. Thanks for the patience everyone. Cheers

Plates are done but I’m overseas on business and should be back in a week or so. Will send photos when I return and can ship them.

How many purchasers do we have down under? Might be able to lower their freight costs but I would need an answer by Tuesday USA time / Wednesday Oz NZ time…..

Plates should be ready in 2 or 3 weeks so things will be quiet for a while. Will update everyone once I have them.

@Speedfrog______ x1✔️ @PhillipLarsen____ x1✔️ @guzzler________ x1 ✔️ @Joe____________ x2 ✔️ @Tomchri________ x1✔️ @audiomick__ ____ x1✔️ @swooshdave's friend____ x1 . . . . . CONFIRMED @activpop________ x1✔️ [edit to add @DucatiGuzziIndian ___ x1✔️ as of Nov 6, 2023 = ten plates] + @Dragonknee ...... x1 . . . . . .CONFIRMED So if I am not mistaken the list above is correct and we need 10. ...... I will order 11 to have 1 spare. EDIT: I better check my math... forgot to count 2 for @Joe... so that makes 12 total with 1 spare. Ya know, there's only 3 types of people in this world; those that are good at math, and those that aren't! I'll get them inscribed with "V11 ROPER PLATE".

All good Added one to the list for you I think we are at 11 or twelve now but will check again. Needing one for myself as well of course. If we want some inscribing on them, I just need to know before Monday......

OK well seeing it is so close to Friday I won't stress over a couple days. I'll order Monday. Thx docc

I just realized I have severely and negligently broken protocol here by hijacking this thread... I should have checked for a "Other Bikes" thread first. Apologies gents.

And all thats left of my original Greenie The new one is on its way..

A couple oldies in progress

175 TS as requested. Needs work

Well docc I think we are probably good to go now...??? what do you think? Happy to wait a few more days if needed. Pic of my 2010 StreetFighter

Dave Its a 2015. Ill try sending other photos later! ;-)

An example of how I keep things.

I do understand the concern. In these times when nobody could give a s**t about things, the risk is high. I am a little fussy about stuff! i tried to insert a couple photos but what’s with the 1990’s era 1.46 Mb file size limit?!!?

I understand the concerns. Im a 66 yr old mechanical engineer. I came to the US to start my own business in ‘98. Didn’t know a soul here but spotted an opportunity. Happy to post more info to give anyone more confidence. I sent a link to my business website to Pete. Happy to send to others.

Ideally I’d like to order these and our other stuff by the end of next week but I can add a couple days. Ill need a final quantity by say Sunday 11th……. Hopefully that’s enough time for everyone. OK????
