Default Where to get racing plates and numbers?

I will be doing trackdays/racing soon. I have sharskinz bodywork on my F3. The tail appears to have a designated area for numbers. But the front fender does not.

Where can I get a background for the upper fairing, (under windshield) that I can place numbers on?


Thanks

It's race body work, correct? No head light? Got any pics?

A sign and lettering shop could do a background for you in vinyl, or you could have it painted.

Right! Just use a contrasting color for your numbers.

I used silver vinyl on my black 1k in my avatar. My 600 has a white painted number plate bib and I'll used vinyl numbers. Not sure what color yet.
These numbers are coming off.

Thanks for the responses. Yes it is racebody work, no headlight.

How did you paint the yellow on the fairing so cleanly badgixxer? Did you use some type of template?

One last question:
I'm not even positive I'll be ready to race this season. I plan to do beginner track days for all of 06. When/if I DO race, it will be WERA. I believe WERA requires a yellow background for novices. Is it worth getting the background (tail and front) painted yellow now? That way, I don't have to re-do everything if I plan to race end of '06? Or, will I just look like a if I paint the background yellow at this time. Definitely dont want people thinking I'm a racer at my trackdays, way too slow at this point. FYI: The trackdays I'm doing only require numbers on the bike, no background. That's why I'm asking

Thanks

Nobody cares what your bike looks like at the track. As long as the bike, and you are safe.

cool man. I think I'm just going to go ahead with a yellow background. That way I don't have to add it later on when I race.

thanks man
