Number Backgrounds???

[tonester]

I am looking for some Flo. yellow number backgrounds for my '01 CR. I ordered some N-Style backgrounds but they were that ugly mustard yellow. I see so many bikes with the flo. yellow at the track. Can anyone help point me in the right direction. Thanks. :think

Try the Skorbordz backgrounds thru HRP their phone 800-352-5525. when the kid ordered his they came fast are superthick and great quality. You'll have to verify the color tho he got black with white #s

I'm not really a fan of Factory Effex products but I just put on yellow Factory Effex backgrounds.. They've got a ~1" slit cut through the middle of the backings for very easy application (put the middle on first then work your way to the edges), and are a nice color IMHO.

Give them a try, I don't think you would be disappointed.

Have you(or anyone else) tried DeCal Works? I'm thinking of using them this spring.

Color??

Cam..... Are the yellow Factory Effex that you ordered the bright yellow or the mustard yellow? I have used FX number backgrounds before and the tackstrip is very user friendly. I ordered N-Style backgrounds and the yellow was not the bright color that I am looking for. Let me know...Thanks. :)

They are the bright yellow. Not Suzuki bright but probably equal to or brighter than '00 RM plastic.

I've used the Decal Works/SoCalDecal stuff. They work great and last very well. I'd definitely recommend them. I'll never piece together backgrounds, numbers and clear top layers again.

I just paid $56 delivered for Decalworks... never again. They were two weeks late... AND A COMPLETE PITA to install!!!!:think

They are thick, this is fine for FLAT number plates, but the 02 YZ has big curves on the side plates...getting something cut "2 D" to lie flat on a "3D" surface is damm near impossable!! I've got one that I messed with for an hour and it's still not right. The directions are a joke, you'd think they'd give you the "tips and tricks" to help out.... but NOOOOOO!

And a one liner on the invoice....that says basicly that if they don't lay down it's YOUR FAULT.... no phone support, no instructions, expencive, late...

These are not things I look for in a product! I put backrounds and numbers on my boys KX just before I did mine...it took HALF the time and about $35 vs. $56 for the Decalworks.

Bottom line.... not worth it:think
