Just got back from picking up my bike from Speedwerks, they did a fantastic job and damn they were quick.  Before I go trying to match paint for the windscreen.  I wanted to know if this plate would be legal as is.  The rules say that the air intake can't be obstructing the number.  I don't think it is in this photo (keep in mind that the white backing on the numbers will be gone).  Let me know what you think.



Or do I absolutely have to paint the windscreen?

Not sure on the numbers (looks OK to me), but I doubt the color of the plate will pass tech.

Read this thread for clarification on the yellow. If the plate is anything but "yellow" you might want to repaint the plates before applying the numbers. Also, you can ask at tech where they think your numbers should be.

Do or do not, there is no "try".

The air intake is in the middle of the number plate. You need to raise numbers up and paint/vinyl/tape etc the lower portion of number plate.

Color needs to be yellow, colors can be "adjusted" in digital cameras, films, pictures, moniters but it appears correct on my laptop.

This is the way I would do it if it were me.

Yeah, Larry in his own subtle way will probably ask you to change it.    :kicknuts:

Just noticed you said there is white backing around numbers if so then there is a definite color shift (lighting maybe?)cause that does not look white on my moniter.

Eric, I think he meant that the numbers were still attatched to the paper backing in the first picture.
Put some yellow vinyl on the windshield, connecting the yellow you already have on either side of the screen, and go with the big numbers.
And no, they don't like flourescent yellow on the number plates, so you'll have to repaint that.  Think School Bus Yellow when you're choosing number plate paint in CCS.

I can't speak for how it might be viewed in other regions....  but I can say for a fact that you're original concept would need some work to pass in the Midwest Region.

The above opinions on the putting yellow on the lower section of your windscreen would help a lot.  The rendition that Gixxerblade did with spacing them closer together and up on the windscreen is great.

The ductwork on the '06 R6 and newer Kawasaki's is creating a real challenge in placing numbers so that they can be read at high speed.  Luckily you're got a 2 digit number.  The guys with 3 digits have a real challenge!!

The comments on the shade of yellow falls into the danger zone.  If it is in fact tinted a little greenish like it appears on my monitor, it will be a problem.  Any paint that says "hi-viz yellow" or "neon yellow" will most likely be rejected.  Just go with plain old YELLOW!  The best example I can give is something like a John Deere Yellow or School Bus Yellow.

Best advice is what looks really cool sitting in your garage may cause a headache for the scorers when you're in a pack of 4 or 5 riders going 150+  down the straight!

If your plate was bigger you could put the 2 numbers on the correct scoring side (based on the track) and either move the numbers, or apply 2 sets (one on each side) and cover 1 set up...

And yeah, your green won't pass for yellow in the midwest...  Think smiley yellow  :wah:  :kissy:  :kicknuts:

Best bet is either school bus yellow or OSHA safety yellow (what I used for 6 yrs).

Problem though I see is that even those yellows sprayed on that blue base can end up greenish sometimes also.

If you look at the flyer for the CCS Florida September 9th and 10th @ Jennings. You will see that one of the Lopez brothers has a triangle of yellow over the windshield and he has his 3's just about in line with each other.

Mike Pruitt is doing three 6" numbers off to the side of his Kawasaki. 
I saw his setup, and did the same to my bike.
