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.

good point but i have a k4 pointy (the best), so i can not turn my headlights off, when the bike is on so are my lights. it's to do with new eec rules i think

Ah. Still, I'd do it that way anyway, I reckon it looks better even without a number. If you try and cram a number into the small space available it'll looka bit daft IMO.

If I was gonna do any more mods to your bike I'd obviously start by trying to make it look more like a yellow naked curvy...

I certainly wouldn't go for illegal numbers.

Think this thread came up just a minute ago... There's production models with race numbers on, which presumably would be illegal to sell if it were true.
