Jim Snell shows off his 'spare-time' project at Motorama. Larger Picture.
This bike is bristling with trick bits! Larger Picture.
Jim knows more about Gas Gas Trials Bikes than almost anyone on the planet, and given the parts and expertise at his disposal, couldn't resist creating his own personal Raga Replica. Many of the modifications on this machine are available to all Gas Gas owners through Jim's Trialspartsusa business, or through your local Gas Gas dealer.

Of course, Gas Gas will be producing the 2004 Raga Replica later in the year, but for those PRO owners wishing to be a bit more like the great Raga, your shopping list is right here!
