not sure about the bit by the headlight, to get room for a decent sized number, your going to need a cover for the headlight to I would think

Sir fizz you are almost spot on identical except for on the front the white board will not go around the light just above it & then 13 on each board in a funky/pointy font.

Bad idea IMHO... The Sv's no 'race' bike (in road-going form anyway,) so numbers not required

I reckon Fizz's version works better... No sppace for a number, still... So get a cover, paint it white as well, number on the cover. Just don't try and use the headlights! But it'll look fine when not attached, and excellent when attached (for photos, daytime rides if you don't use your lights while riding (which I reckon you should, but that's by the by)

You could also have a clear cover with the number on, but that might look ridiculous

Loads of places can do you for covers, Powerbronze and Skidmarks both make them, and they come up on Ebay sometimes too.
