Which either says a lot about the Italian aluminum or something not so nice about the Italian SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldv11 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The pair of slosh plates arrived today in Ireland, i must say someone is quite handy with the jigsaw. Lovely job, a pitty to hide it but when my oil light flickered during heavy breaking i knew it was time to do something. Thanks Eric and greetings from Cork,world capital of the sideway rains. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a lifetime, I was working at a Texaco gas station in Belleville, Michigan, USA about 1985. A car full of people stopped for directions to the church up the street, for an extended family wedding. They were from Cork. They were flat hammered. Nobody cared and they apparently successfully navigated their way around. I've long since lost the contact information, but I did get a standing invitation to stay in Cork. It's on my long list of places to see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentombed Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 thanks Eric from Brisbane Australia - fitted the plate up the other day. Just to let everyone know that through some quite wild troubles Eric was amazing to deal with. 5 stars. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I have a Roper plate installed in a Bellagio and fill the oil to the underneath of the plate. Never had an issue yet with this and it's a little more than what the dip stick allows. I think that semi dry dumping with a barrier like this allows a different oil level to be well tolerated. My bike when ridden hard is prone to oil expulsion from the exhaust and since installing Peter's plate this has stopped. So with the Bellagio it's not so much that you fear uncovering the pick-up under acceleration but it's more about reducing oil foaming and overwhelming the condenser. Why this short stroke engine is prone to whip creaming the oil is a mystery to me but it does in it's standard format. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billgreenman1 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I guess I'm a ween. I've seen the light and immediately baked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I just PM'd @Pressureangle to add one of these to my pile. I waited until everyone had the chance to get one as I am the proud owner of The Very Last P.Roper MotoModa plate. Still, the chance to own, and display, this awesome Rusty Star Picket Project plate is just too much for me to pass up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 but which one will get installed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll install a Genuine / P.Roper MotoModa ® plate "when the time comes." Maybe when the Genuine Joe Caruso® timing gears get mounted. Maybe replace the original valve cover gaskets . . . I am very proud that V11LeMans.com, and @Pressureangle in particular, has honored @pete roper's engineering/design contribution to this community. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressureangle Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 As of today, I still have about ten plates left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
