Bought my first Gasgas last night
I've ridden dirt bikes before, but have been spending my time most recently on dual sports. I miss tackling tight technical single track though, so I'd been on the lookout for something European and two stroke.
I snagged a 2011 EC 300 six days. There are a few things I need to address before it's totally ready to rip. The clutch master cylinder is leaky (already ordered a rebuild kit). I would also like to get some hand guards. Down the road, I'll get new plastics/graphics, but I'm focusing on more functional things for now. Any recommendations on that stuff or in general? Looking forward to taking this beast! |

Congrats, and welcome to the club! Lets see some pics.
If your looking for full wrap hand guards, by far my favourite are the Cycra CRM.

Hand Guards are kinda subjective. Most guys run either Cyrca ProBends or EnduroEngineering EVO's. They both work great but I prefer the look of the BarkBuster JET's and I had the extra coin to spend on them anyways. I also have the Emperor Racing mounts to clean up my bars. (Similar to BONZ) Just get something popular and name brand and you'll be good.

Honestly for the money I would run these ebay hand guards. I know people will scoff and laugh, but 2 years and an enduro nothing bent or broken and you can get them to your door for about $30 direct from China as long as you don't mind waiting for them to show up. I bought them for my new bike, too.

Those might actually be Cyrca Probends that are being sold out the back door of the factory before the branding is put on them.. Does it say "Probend" on the black side plastic? I know someone is selling the Zeta guards out the back door on AliExpress. They are IDENTICAL and even have the "Z" from Zeta moulded into the plastic, but none of the stickers or lasering that Zeta does. I dislike Zeta guards as I've found they bend too easily, but the knockoffs are a cheap option for supermoto guys and they look great.

the OEM gg seat is pretty grippy, but motoseat make a cover for the GG and it almost feels like you are glued to the seat when you are riding some gnarley stuff
