SIOI SRS SUPERMOTO SOLES $25 1 1 DO NORTH MAGNOLIA, SUITE A EL CAJON, CA 92020 Sole for Sale 877/789-4940 Sidi has recently introduced a one-piece, fully replaceable sole for Supermoto racing. Sidi accomplished this by utilizing the same bolt-on system it has been using for years for off-road riding. While Sidi had previously offered bolt-on extension pads, it says that since the new soles are completely one-piece, they will not only be more effective when riding, but will also be more comfortable when off the motorcycle as well. When developing the new soles, Sidi made the observation that focusing on making the soles last longer was the wrong perspective. Instead, the Sidi team placed their attention on making sure the soles would prOVide the best possible performance when riders use their feet as outriggers and drag them on the surface of the track. With this in mind, Sidi offers two different types of soles so that riders have the option of choosing which one works best on a certain track. And because the soles are bolt-on, testing and changing soles is quick and easy. $195.95 3700 WEST ..JUNEAU AVENUE PO 80x 653 MILWAUKEE, WI 53201 414/342-4680 WWW.HARLEY-DAVIDSON.CCM 46 NOVEMBER 23, 2005 • CYCLE NEWS Harley Headlamp Harley-Davidson's new Chrome Headlamp Nacelle Kit is a great way to give the front end of the Sportster and Dyna models a much bolder look.
