Good question, I am imagining Can Am bought it.
Is it even possible to find out?
Not gonna lie, I looked at shop space rentals for those big magic makey boxes

Figured I'd post this here for any still riding their GGs. Lance Canfield just posted on the GG FB page that they were taking requests for replacement part and that they'd be willing to manufacture some for us. Pretty cool move. I used this as justification to acquire a clean, green final edition Smash. Looking forward to building it up.
Shoe goo for the stay or the downtube pads. I think I just used IPA of the non-beer variety to clean.
link?
I just started to make my own GG hardware, last year, as things started to fail / wear out. There is room for improvement. I make the replacements out of stainless. I went with a (3) piece design for the horst pivot. It's held up awesome & eliminated the garbage threads in the chainstay clevis. https://ridemonkey.bikemag.com/threads/this-is-whats-wrong-with-the-industry™.279473/post-4671944
Next up is the seatstay / rocker fastener. Going with a combo external hex - internal hex socket. Just need to dial in a new 5mm hex wobble broach on stainless.

All the components that we have are GG produced parts. We do plan on making some hardware that people are asking for. Any requests?

I've heard that cleaning the frame with IPA then using 3M two sided tape works quite well too.
Just saw it for sale at PB. It was listed as a complete but the owner was fine selling the frame only. I'd been looking around for one...they are around but not a lot of the colored ones. Seems like there are more greens than the blue/red/gray that was also on the ridegg site.
if you see a green size 3 pistol for sale send it to me as fast as you possibly can.
The typical issue with the GG bikes is they are fairly low leverage rates, needing lighter tunes, BUT the X2 is a poppet-style shock that has a lot of adjustability, at the sacrifice of some bump performance, and you being heavier kind of negates that need for a lighter tune, so that'd probably work well. That reminds me I need to change out the CCDBIL coil for my Jade for the next winter DH race this weekend.
Not your cheapest option, but I have run a (BR)Ohlins TTX22 coil on my Gnarvana and now on my Smash V2. It has been fantastic for both applications in its off the shelf form (ie no special tune).
Another thought would be doing a shock that has progressive coils available. The GGs weren't especially progressive, and running a progressive coil would help get a bit softer off the top while retaining a bit more bottom out support.
Or one of the newer SD Ultimate coils with HBO and a regular spring, run the rebound fast AF, light on the LSC.

Found out back in January that a medication I was on has a known and common side effect of weight gain. Figured out I'd put on about 25lbs since I started it (at first I thought it was in part because I ruptured a tendon in my calf in the fall and couldn't do any exercise). I went off the medication and I'm already down 10lbs.
not in my neck of the woods
dammit, now I want some sliders. 
I've never been in one, drove past one once. Back in the day we used to crush hundreds or sliders at Plattekill.
