Good thing you have a big garage to fit all your participation plagues. Just bustin-balls, fricken impression bike and trophy room. Smile Looks awesome! I think I starred at this picture for about 5 minutes.. Smile

What do you guys think 2022 holds for the Gas Gas? I think we're all expecting a new KTM/Husky for 2022. Will they carry on with the current Gas Gas as a legacy model or move to the next gen with the others after only 1 year?

Bike looks freakin rad BTW.
If the 22 would be a new bike, we'd see Webb and Marvin on them in SX now. I think the 22 factory editions will be the new generations, but the regular 22 will be like the current bikes with new graphics and minimal changes.

That's a great question and I've been thinking about that too. If the bike is radically changed and is getting great reviews I'll sell my 21 and get one but if not I'll ride the 21 until the 23 models come out.

Thanks a bunch brother! I had like 250 more trophies, awards, ribbons, vids and my ex tossed everything because she was so bitter that I had the balls to leave her. I remember the day that I went down in the cellar of what was my old house and it was clean as a whistle and there was no trace of anything to do with racing. I'll never forget what she said when I asked her about all my moto stuff. Her reply was "have your whore go to the landfill and get the stuff"

Sorry to hear that did not know it was a 10 year relationship. But you know what they say if you want to know the meaning of true love put your wife/girlfriend and your dog in the trunk of a car and come back in 30 minutes.....which one is happy to see you??

What do you guys think 2022 holds for the Gas Gas? I think we're all expecting a new KTM/Husky for 2022. Will they carry on with the current Gas Gas as a legacy model or move to the next gen with the others after only 1 year?

Bike looks freakin rad BTW.
It will be interesting to see how GasGas differentiates from the others.

I don’t see GasGas being a legacy or a model behind unless the significantly drop the price. I would think most riders want the latest tech. I can see more more people choosing just based on color alone as they are going to drop money into a bike either way.

Digger - sad deal about your trophies and stuff. My dad always wrote about the moto's on the base of the trophies and back of the plaques to remember the race and what went on that day. Pretty freakin' cool!

As for the production of an older model year, I don't see KTM/Husky/GasGas doing that as it would end up costing more from a manufacturing standpoint. I think that is how they are profitable with these bikes also, as they mass produce an engine, frame, etc and old change the more finite points.

The reason Honda did it is because they changed their entire production line to build factory editions as KTM did in 2015 and has been doing.
Honestly, I'd be curious to know if having a "factory edition" from each brand becomes the norm...
Doesn't Yamaha offer a "Monster Edition" YZ with the graphics and stuff but no pipe and other bling?

I called 3bros in newport and the guy said he believed the GasGas tank and KTM are the same but shouldn't matter because the plastics go in the same holes?Huh I can't find a part number on the GasGas tank to check myself. I have the larger OEM desert tank, from pictures the tanks looks the same.
Go check Cole Seely's Youtube. He did it to his KTM. Took a Gas Gas fuel tank for the shrouds, but the rest swapped over no problem.

This is far as I've gotten with the white hoses, skid plate and holeshot device. I heard my CVs are done so that might give me some much needed motivation to finish the bike. I did put these white radiator louvers on the other day though 😁😁

Digger I see an X-trig holeshot device in there. I have one that came with my Rockstar Edition. Is there any template for installing those things? I only ever installed the Works Connection ones. I really dig your Gas Gas build btw.

I haven't opened it yet but I'll check. I put them on both of my Rockstar 450s without an issue other than that one hole that doesn't seem to want to line up and you end up making it larger :-) Thanks on the build. I love building them. The weather has sucked here so I haven't been doing crap on the bike BUT I heard through the grapevine that my new CVs were just about done. I'm getting anxious waiting for them.. :-)

Yup, it totally sucked and I was super pissed at the time but I got over it. I played college and junior A hockey and she also tossed my equipment and all of the stuff that I had saved from my hockey days too. She was bitter with a capital B.

I got ambitious and put more Ti bolts, skid plate, white Moto Hose radiator hoses and a TLD seat cover on that matches the plastic perfect. I'm redoing graphics now because after many test pieces I've got a red that's pretty damn close to plastic now. Tweaking the graphics striping and logo wise too. Still waiting on my cone valves. Looking forward to spring and getting back out there.

Ya, I am the same way! You can see how far off mine is around the front fender.



I bought a brand new all red plastic kit that I am going to take to my graphics guy to have match!

I also did a spec-bolt nickel kit. Poor-mans TI look!

This kid needed numbers quick, I just printed it in my Honda red code, seems like it matched pretty good. A lot of companies have trouble printing red and that may be the issue and not the fact that they haven’t matched it yet

Friend of a friend does them for me at an undisclosed location because he knows from experience just how protective KTM and Red Bull is of their logos and he doesn't want "that" call again from them. :-)

I might have to steal the white numbers on the red background. That looks really good!

For what it's worth, I've compiled pics of all the exhausts I could find so far for the GasGas. I won't lie, that HGS is a sweet lookin' piece, can't decide if that's what I'm going to buy yet thought. I'm trying to wait until I ride mine at least once. I did the airbox mod already, so trying not to mess with it too much LOL.


Heh, thanks Digger_29 Wink
