All

depends on which Sidi Crossfire 2 you are referring to. The TA's are a bit wider than the SRS's. But still both are more narrow than the SG12. Also the Sidi's soles are stiffer and tend to have less feel for the pegs.

someone above mentioned the possibility of bothering your knees if you're not careful. VERY GOOD ADVICE. Don't try to lift your entire body with your knees (like a reverse shrug or something). I learned the hard way that this is really rough on the knees. Be careful doing those core exercises while hanging upside down. Keep your legs straight as...

Inversion tables do work. But, with no other activity/stretching, they will only do so much for you. You need to keep your core (gut) in check. Its amazing how much back pain you can have when your stomach looks like a basketball. Ha. I encourage you to find ll the gut and back strengthening and stretching exercises you can, and...

synthetic!

Spoken from experience. Ran SG10's until 12's came out. Love SG12's. Got offered a smokin deal on Sidi Corssfire 2 SRS and would have loved them more than Gaerne's if it weren't for having wide feet. .....

This is on a titanium FMF 4.1 system. I do not know if these mounting holes are where the oem pipe's would be, but I believe they are supposed to be in the exact same spot.

I had an 06 yamaha 450 that I put on their black and yellow "Hurricane" kit on, and it was trick. Good quality graphics. Looked better than the OEM black/yellow stuff that they came with in 06. Sad.

looking good! Did you have to take the stock water pump guard off to get the Cycra skid plate to fit?

you seriously had/have mx tracks on an Air Force base? Somehow my recruiter back in the 80's failed to share this with me. I ended up in the middle of Missouri (bfe), working in missile silos. NO FUN and I got out as soon as I could. OP - you'll be back, just like 95% of everyone who has to...

is the Cycra shroud intake screen a custom part, or is that how they're making them now? I like them a lot, I would like to swap mine out for those to get the benefit of the screens. No question the Cycra shrouds are a big improvement over stock.

find a vintage or Ahrma race and show it there, you can get better money at places like that.

My guess is, get a medium. I am lucky and a local dealer had mediums and larges to try on. I'm about your size and medium is perfect for me.

Just ride, dont race. Cheaper and you can ride when YOU want to, not when someone else tells you to. Back it down a notch, and be able to ride until you're 60, or until your knees wont let you ride any more...... Thats what my friends do. How on earth can anyone give this up anyway? Like OP says...
