Looking really good Rockefeller, has inspired me to start my own thread, though its not as comprehensive as yours as I have not taken as many photos as you...

Thanks. I did this for my last off road rig build, and enjoy the documentation. Keeps me busy while waiting for parts.

1. Th JB Weld didn't work on the airbox side cover. I rebuilt the little holes using an old soldering iron and scrap plastic from an old black front fender. Plastic welding it seems to be the ticket.

2. When I bolted on the radiator covers, the screw in the gas tank pulled out, bringing with it the plastic that held the screw in. I used plast-aid to fill the hole and sanded it flush. I drilled a pilot hole in the original spot for the self-tapper.

The left side airbox to fender plastics fit perfectly:


The right side doesn't. I gave up when I got it this close:


Added yellow to all the number plates. I need to wire up the headlight still, but couldn't resist taking a couple pics:

What sump guard combo do you use?

Ha ha that's quite an assortment of welding helmets you have there.

Looking really good, luckily my bike is a 2011, so hopefully the Polisport plastics bolt on without to much hassle.

I am battling with my header pipe at the moment, its catching on the frame.. Always small issues that hamper projects

Give it a try again on the right side cover. It's just not snapped/positioned correctly. The fender needs to fit on the other side of that thin black plastic tab of the side cover if I remember correctly. I think it gives most people fits on the install. The bike looks nice!

Since I had to re-form the plastic tabs on the side cover, I'm hoping that the locations are just off slightly, causing the issue. I've got a new side cover coming from Hall's Cycles here soon. They had to order the part, so I'll just live with this for a week or two.

I can't ride anyway... I'm still healing from Surgery and have the holidays coming up. I'll just be patient.


On a bright note, I had my o-ring chain soaking in degreaser since the tear down. A quick once over with a tooth brush and some fresh chain wax has it looking great. There was a ton of grime in the bottom of the bin it was soaking in. I was very happy to see the results and scared to see how much crap was in the chain.

Great looking bike who made the graphics maybe I read through to quick and missed it thanks

These are the GasGas 2012 Six Days graphics. They came with the transformation kit from Motocrosscenter.com


They fit all of the 2011 plastics except for the headlight. I cut apart the sections and trimmed them to make it work.
