Hey guys, I need some advice.

my race body work is at the painters, and a 3 hour drive away at my parents house after that, so i'm not going to have it in front of me to measure and mock up my numbers.

i'm trying to figure out what size to order and how to do the tail. we can put just one number facing backwards, or the number on each side as its traditionally done. minimum size requirement for the tail is 4" tall. the front numbers need to be at least 6" tall

i need to order/buy my numbers and vinyl backgrounds before i go down for the final touches on the bike, but not sure what size to order. any suggestions? is the 4" and 6" combo going to be too small?

btw: my endurance number is 80, and i have to add a 1 to the end for sprints to make it 801.

this is the rough mock i did of the scheme we're painting. the number backgrounds are going to be vinyl unless its just a pain in the ass. then i'll rattle can it.

for future reference:

nose: can fit 6" numbers
rear sides: can fit 6" number towards the front half, and 4" after that... i'm using 4"

finally got our body work back from the painters :D

Jon, That`s going to be a sinister machine. It should have a great psychological effect on the competition--really nicely done. I always thought the Kawasakis had a sort of smug sneer--like, "In your face"
