    As you know I'm not racing, but I made up a template to cut my own boards and bought some numbers just to complete the look. I can make you the boards up James. You just need numbers in the right sizes to go on then.

    With layer upon layer of masking tape, drawn on and then removed to be cut to shape. The template was then stuck to a sheet of vinyl and reversed for the other side. I did the front in a similar way :)

    Yeah, but you've only got to do 1 template and when you peel the back off the vinyl you have a spare template :D

    3. Each machine must display two side number plates. The numbers must be clearly visible to the public and marshals on both sides of the machine.
    4. If numbers are displayed on separate plates, they must be rectangular shape and made from a rigid and solid material with minimum measurements 285mm by 235mm. The plates should not be curved or bent more than 50mm out of the flat plane.
    5. The figures must be clearly legible and like the background must be painted in matt colours as described below to avoid reflection in sunlight.
    6. The minimum dimensions of front numbers are: Background 285mm by 235mm

    8. A space of at least 5cm must be left free around all number plates in which no advertising may
    appear.
    9. Figures must conform to the Number Plates diagram within this Handbook.
    10. The colours for background and figures vary according to the class of motorcycle and type of
    competition. The following colours shall be used and they must have a matt finish and comply with the RAL colour table:
    Black 9005, Blue 5010, Yellow 1003, Orange 2007,
    Red 3020, Green 6002, White 9010

    The rules seem to have changed slightly from previous. The red/yellow & red/white were for superstock machines last year with the others being for any mods.

    Look at guy Martins bikes from 2010 as an example.

    I know the above is 'real road racing' but the rules are the same for all 'road racing'.
