I know this is the Penton site, but thought I would offer the following to any interested KTM owners -
A friend asked me about duplicating the yellow number plate backgrounds found on the 495's. I have contacted a local manufacturer who will make up the backgrounds. Minimum quantity of 30 is required to get a reasonable price of $5.00/each + shipping.
There will be no limit to the quantity you need to purchase. If any of you are interested, please contact me directly at
[email protected]A photo of a background is available on request.

You can buy yellow oval plates from Speed and Sport for $2.00.

Not a Penton owner, but I have ridden one..Tomale's MC-5. Currently ride a '75 XL-250, '78 TT500
It is true that you can buy generic yellow backgrounds, but these are a duplication of KTM originals. These have the black outline on the perimeter & the KTM logo on the top of the oval.
Number Plate Backgrounds
I will pick up the backgrounds next Tuesday, April 6th, 2004. I will begin shipping shortly after that date.
I have a problem. The hard drive on my PC crashed this Wednesday and I was not able to recover anything from the drive. Which means I lost your email address & orders for backgrounds.
I need everyone who requested backgrounds from me to contact me with the number of backgrounds they committed to purchase along with their email address.
I remeber that Reinhard, Chris, Tom & friend, Kirk, & B. Hahn ordered backgrounds, but cannot remember the quantities. In total I had orders for over 100 backgrounds.
Please get to me as soon as possible. My email address is
[email protected]. Sorry for the problem.
These backgrounds :(are for 1981 thru 1983 KTM's.
