down 1 on the front and a Riffleman quick turn throttle insert is enough to make it insane - or so I've been told

Yep got the GIpro TRE , Gone down 1 on the front , Have a Riffleman 1/5th throttle insert & more on my Crim & like ya said yeah it's insane

although the OEM damper is a piss weak excuse for a steering mod

GiPro really made that much difference? Wasn't sure it really did that much...

As for OEM damper, people have been know to put a heavier weight oil in it.

yeah the Gipro does make difference. and i really need to change the oil in the damper or just buy a scotts damper.

Hoffy what rear sprocket size was released on the crim. Mine came with a 40

I believe 41, or may be even 42, but definitely higher..

on the GIPro. They can be switched on and off on the move and the difference is noticeable. The gear indicator is pretty vague though

Don't listen to Hoffy, he hauls a barge..

The std rear on the 04 / 05 is a 39 tooth..

To me the Gumby feels a tamed version of the crim, which is like "lets go now really fast but hang on and pay attention or I'll f#ck you up!" Comes to personal preference but I like the one that scares the crap out of me. Go the crim!

I'm now not going to enter this debate...

I am afraid of Funky

See, Gumby's break down! Flat tyres, holes in radiators, what next!

Go the Crim!

So is kick arse another name for Kishy Strips?...

Quite possibly! cept with 1300km's on the bike, and recently coming off the fucker, you could call it chicken strips! I think my strips are bigger than that tho!


Anytime you want a test ride on a decent bike Mick, give me a call Those 14's are terrible!
