Default GasGas 300 Dual Sport ?

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 .

Not a 300, but I dual sported my 250. In the electrical forum under the "DC conversion without floating the ground" thread I posted a link to a .pdf I wrote on how I did mine.

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.

I have a Guts Racing seat on mine and really like it. I have the stock foam and cover but never put it on to compare.
