Welcome Spooly, Have a look at motocrosscenter.com delivered to your door.

Welcome aboard! You'll find this site isn't lacking for info on your new toy. If if it has anything to do with GasGas, and the info doesn't exist here...I'd be inclined to think said info does not exist:D

There's a couple of items I can't seem to source..a red seat cover. .fmf gnarly pipe guard and a lower set of foot pegs? ? any help would be greatly appreciated. .

Gutz might be able to make a custom colour seat cover.
P3 Composites for the pipe guard - also on here.
Footpegs -crossover with Yamaha, however will need to cater for clearance of the brake pedal/pivot on the rhs. Also note the biggest issue most face with that particular chasis is the footpeg/ground clearance. I'm not sure I'd be looking at moving them closer to the ground. Probably better to get a tall seat foam and raise the bars.

iv got some bar risers. .but how much would I gain with the high seat foam as I do tend to sit down a lot. .are these European company's because the shipping costs from the states is outrageous. .wouldn't be worth while. . ya maby I should leave the pegs I don't want to compromise ground clearance. ..

Yeah both US companies, but I'm in Australia so used to factoring postage costs for most things. Euro companies in Spain such as motocrosscenter or 2tracing might have some parts that help out too. Tall seat should definitely help uncramp the knees in the sitting position.

welcome Spooley!

don't want to be the bad guy here, but i think you are shorter than Knighter and while he does not ride a GG he rides all his bikes with stock handlebar heights and seats so suggest you stand up more (and when you sit for a corner your centre of gravity will be lower as well. So practice standing up it will benefit you in the long run!-)

For parts you can also contact www.trialendurodirect.com in the uk. i think they had some pipe guards on their website, but the P3 or the one Wence posted about from Oz are better, you could also try to find someone that stocks a hyde guards, not sure who their uk distributor is though (http://hyde1.mybigcommerce.com/gasgas-ec-250-300/)
