Not on the '012. They are much longer and have a redesigned pivot.

I have a yz250 in the garage and will try to bolt its pegs up the day I get the bike.

Think the pipes are the same as '11? I would say so. I would like to fit a Hyde combo to the '12, but mod it to use the factory frame mounts. So, if the pipe is the same, and a normal skid plate for an '11 fits, I should be good. Guys who have 300s coming real soon please check and report, 250s will be later. Thanks!

Here are some mediocre cell phone pics of the bike from the Calgary show that Claude was talking about. Like he said, very early production model.

We are air freighting a '12 Race kickstart next week. I plan to take it to a friend of mine who is a pro photographer and get him to take some real photos of it. We will post them on our website.
I am also told the first container of '12 300s will finally leave the factory on Friday.

AWESOME. Please keep us advised on the timing of container getting here.

Thanks for the transparency Clay, it makes being part of the GasGas group that much cooler.

Good work Clay.
We can stop guessing and finally meet the real bike.
Look forward to seeing the shots.
Once again great work ,
