dowsonm Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I collect my 2017 Combat Camo this weekend and wondered what owners think is the best way to mount a number board? Or is it better to just tape the number over the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin008 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I purchased a black number board from my local dealer and cable tied it on over the original plastic 3 pointed LED holder. It has a slight curve but it looks and works ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Given that a light serves no useful purpose on a pure trials bike (in the UK), I would remove it. One would like to think that on a sophisticated machine like the Vertigo this could be done simply by unplugging a connector rather than having to cut wires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanman1950 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 As said remove light,buy number board cable tie on and away you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoeacr Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm building a C/F one. Clip on with a lip on top to mount the lights and button on. Search on ebay motors, trials number plate. A guy in Oklahoma sales some plastic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goudrons Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) The map button and two LEDs are just held in place with silicone, they just pop out of the original mount. I made a bracket out of an right angled piece of plastic (made from the edge of an old plastic box), drilled out holes along the top for the button and LEDs. I think the button is around 11 or 12mm and the LED's 4mm. I hot glued them in to the new bracket from underneath and used a couple of small, counter sunk bolts and nuts to bolt it to the back of a normal number board, close to the top edge. Used a black number board, black plastic and black counter sunk bolts, so it all looks rather neat. (well it would have if I managed to get the bolt head level!) The map button's body isn't totally round, there are a couple of lugs either side to stop it rotating in the hole, just needed to carefully file out two slots in the hole to make it fit flush.
