GasGas 300 Dual Sport ?

- Start date
Has anyone turned a 300 into a dual sport ? What all did you do ? How did it turn out ? I am going to do something soon and like Gassers .
Call Budd Matto he has some headlights with turn signals and a rear tailight assembly with turn signals. All OEM GasGas. He has them priced to sell!
My 2011 300 is Pa plated.
With stock gearing it will run road sections at 50-55 all day long without being on the pipe....easy to hit 70 for short distance is needed.
I just throw on my Clarke tank for runs where long distance between gas stops is an issue.
Throw a seat concepts foam and cover on the bike if you do plan to run longer events like the Dabbers event....your ass will thank you.

Agreed on the seat deal! I rode a 300XC at the LBL 200 back in 2010. The bike performed without whimper, but the GG seat foam caused me lots of pain

A custom seat redo will probably be the next mod I do to my bike. I will definately go wth seat concepts because they make the best dirt bike seats I've ever ridden on. They don't list GasGas on their web site but they will do them custom if you send them your seat pan. Cost is over $200 but well worth it if you sit down a lot.

Most of us UK'ers who 'Greenlane' (Use legal to use old tracks / unpaved roads) to get our off-road kicks) HAVE to dual-sport effectively, as we need to use the tarmac roads to join up these Green-lanes.
These Greenlanes are pretty sparse in my part of the UK, but typically a Sunday ride for us is around 100 miles. Half of that being Tarmac.
I've got mine geared on 14/48. Any bikes cruising speed depends on how mechanically sympathetic you are to some degree. I find mine cruises comfortably at 45mph.....50mph if we are getting a lick-on and need to be somewhere in a 'hurry', and i have seen 75-80mph ping up on the speedo when i gave it a burst down a hill once.
On tarmac i try to be a little smoother in general, but especially with the gear-changes to give the gearbox an easier time. Particulaly on downshifting.

exactly...
3.2 gallon is the smallest I like to run.
Rumor has it that Clarke is working one for the new frames...
I am moving to Idaho this summer, would like to do the T1, the 3.2 wont cut it.
