[DAVE HARRIS]

I have just spoken to phil at new era to clarify the position and type of rear number board as I wanted to put the numbers on the 998 rear seat unit which would not meet the acu regulations (ie not flat and virtually vertical). Phil confirmed that it is ok to put the numbers on the rear seat unit as long as they are clearly visible

Thats what i've done with mine- painted the cowl white apart from leaving a nice red stripe down the middle and put my numbers on.
I think it might be a bit of squeeze for 2 or 3 numbers though.
I'm hoping it will be ok as it's clearly visible. We shall see on Sat.

I've got ugly boards I think - but they'll get me on the grid.

kelly spent about 2 hours putting the white sticky vinyl on the rear seat unit on the 600ss...nightmare as its not flat at all and is made up of a pillion seat cover....

As a note....the numbers we have allocated to DD do the carry over to SoT.?

Good point, I would have thought not. I'm ringing them in a minute so I'll ask.

[TP]

Well, I've just spoken to them and the answer is the numbers won't change between the SOT and DD.

They were having a bit of an argument about it in the background though, so I'm not sure where that leaves us

[dickieducati]

how can that be? my number and many others at new era cant possibly be unique?

[NBs996]

So what if there's a SOT regular who already carries your DD number?
Shirley you'll be allocated another one for SOT when your entry drops thru the letterbox?

[phoenix n max]

I would have thought we'd get different numbers for SOT's to be honest. Aren't they already boarded on white with black numbers ?
I can't see my number 6 being free in SoT but i suppose its possible.

[fil2]

lol..whoever is selling numbers at the race meets is gonna be doing ok.................

lets hope tony as you say..the numbers are the same, save a little hassle. But like Phoenix said i cant see my number 2 being free for Sot either....

just wait n see......

Phil

I really want to see my entry details now.....
