I always wondered why some people spend a lot of money on graphics for their bikes and then put plain old Black or White numbers on it when I aways thought having custom numbers with character added a lot to the look of the bike.  This is mine, tried to pick something that matched the color and the #151 isn't my AMA Pro number, because I'm super fast,  it's because I'm slow and like to mix a drink with Bacardi 151 Rum after pretending I can still roost.   Unless you're a AMA Pro, what's significance of the number you picked for your bike and give us a peek how it looks

The one team had Chevy trucks Kawasaki replica graphics with the decal works number font. If you’re doing a replica, do it right.

I'm boring and go with the standard font and colors.

Same man, I'm all for shaking up the graphics, but number/font I'm pretty boring/traditional... I like things clean and not too busy.

OP, if you like it then good times, this stuff is all personal preference and it'd be boring if we all liked the same stuff.

My lowest ABA race number was 87 back in 2003 as a middle schooler and I’ve used it ever since

I always go with number one and a red background on my bike no matter what.

On the vintage bikes I tinker with I go with 75 as I was the 75th transplant at the center that did my fresh top end.  I like the old plain Hallman font.
