- this aging body was finding the instant mega off idle power of the 300 a bit tiring at times. Usually late in the day when trying to avoid the singletrack trees with the slightest crack of the throttle or multiple attempts trying to find traction on hills and in the real slow slick stuff.

I dont suppose you want to sell your 300 parts do you?
