jsp Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 whats everyone done number board wise on there bikes ? (to hold you riding number) I rode this weekend with it gaffer taped on but it was a bit held on with a wing and a prayer. I know Vertigo are looking at getting one sorted but just wondered what anyone else had done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdale Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 The problem with taping the number to the headlight is that often the tape partly obscures the number, the number is distorted by the shape of the light, and once dirty it cannot be cleaned. Just think of the observer if you want to get the correct score! In East Yorks Centre all clubs agreed that transparent plastic number boards should be fitted so that the number can be clearly seen and wiped if dirty.

jsp Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 its not as easy as that there is the light switch, mapping switch, map light, temp light and vertigio have said not to remove any wiring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffergm Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I use what looks like the usual hard plastic number plate, but it's flexible enough that you can put it on over the light, then you can just put a couple zip ties around it and the fork legs to ensure it doesn't go anywhere. Unfortunately I've only ever seen them at my dealer, and I have no idea where he gets them. Edited June 26, 2017 by heffergm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I imagine all sorts of scrap plastic items could be cut to size and fixed with plastic ties in a similar fashion to the photo above. Or, shock horror, buy some plastic sheet and do likewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elemetal Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I pulled the stock light and board, removed the headlamp and buttons. I then place the buttons into the foam bar clamp protector and ditched the lamp. This allowed a normal board mount (formed plastic clips onto the forks) and better button access. These thong bikini boards (my Ossa had a similar one) are pretty useless as is the headlamp, much prefer a standard board with letters you can actually see....

jsp Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I've now fitted a standard number board over the headlight and used a couple of strips of rubber under the board on the fork legs to level it up the best I can, I've also used reusable cable ties as I'm not keen on the look so I can remove it and only use it when I need to Edited July 27, 2017 by jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holster Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I made this one (3D print) for a friend who bought a Vertigo a couple of years ago. Having just picked up my first Vertigo I will be tweaking this prototype. The nameplate clips on between the forks and clears the headlight. Easily removed when not in use and no changes required to the bike, has a clear hole in the middle so the headlight is still visible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Holster - that number board looks great! I'm looking forward to seeing v2. Please keep us updated. I've ordered my Nitro 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
