My 2011 version of a 1999 EC300
So, when the 2012 Gas Gas giveaway was going on I can't imagine anyone tried any harder to win than I did. I submitted so my times a day it was crazy. (Not sure more than one counted though) I REALLY wanted a new Gas Gas EC/XC but just don't have the funds, unfortunately. And it really bummed me that the person who won was trying to sell it. That just seemed wrong. But that's life.
So anyway... I found an old 1999 EC300 which looked rather rough and started working on it. I bought some new plastics and had PG Graphics to do some 2011 style graphics for me. Threw a Trailtech headlight on it and it turned out pretty decent. The bike already had Ohlins suspension, Cycra wraparound hand guards, FMF Gold pipe and Pro Circuit Exhaust. I still need to locate some parts for it. Still seeking a kickstand, I want to get some Renthal Twinwalls or Fatbars to replace the ProTapers, a competition taillight, I need some sort of enduro computer really bad and it could use some other improvements as well but doing all this with very limited funds. If anyone on the forum has some things this bike needs and could help such as an enduro computer, extra Renthals or a kickstand that would work please let me know as I have some things I could barter for them if interested. Anyway, it may not be a lot or as cool as a lot of the bikes on here....as there are some beauties that people are blessed with...but I am thankful for what I have. Just wanted to share with my GG family. |

I'll have to take your word on it when you said " it looked rather rough"; it sure looks good now. Excellent job. Enjoy.

but as i read it again, can't help but wondering if i'd need a new gas tank aswell, since at some point they say that a '97 to '00 don't need another gas tank so everything should fit. would that mean that i'd have to get an extra gas tank to fit on my '01 ec 200? hannes. |
