HONDA CRF300L STAGE 1 MODS | Essential For Any Dual Sport

#hondacrf300l #dualsport #offroad

Welcome to another Chronicles of Solid Video. In this video I go through the must have Stage 1 modifications on my Honda CRF300L dual sport. Not everything went to plan and I go through my learning curve but that is all part of the adventure. Overall I am quite happy how this little motorbike is developing into an off road machine.

I was thinking blue would have looked good but what the hell, it's your bike man.

Love the yellow hand guards! Looks great! :)

[TazmanianDevil-yz]

Yellow looks awesome maybe with some gold fat bars!

[jasondunn]

Oooh farkles🙂 Always a challenge being an early adopter of a new model. Think the yellow looks great, not to mention bit of a safety aspect there too. Keep the updates coming.

Looks good. I would say you don't need anything else unless you want a different steering bar. Here in Mexico, this model is not imported, therefore the only choice I have is between China-made bikes ( 1800 USD ) or the beautiful KLX 300. The Kawa cost me 8 times the price of the Chinese one, but is 800 times better.

First I've heard of Scaggs. Just contacted them and said I'm waiting to purchase. Thanks for mentioning them.

Skags is here in my hometown. Awesome that his product is popular all the way over where you are!

Those yellow handguards are growing on me, mate. I have a good old DR here in Joburg, South Africa. You're making me think I should sell the old pig and get the little Honda. Ride safe!

[shawnolson]

I'm so stoked you got one. It ought to save me a huge head ache having you do the trial and error! Thanks man and yeah normal is so lame. I hate yellow but I love different. Stay weird ya weirdo

[georgel]

So obsessed with these at the moment, I've been planning to buy a second hand africa as soon as covid buggers off but this is making me consider if I need it

"Life is too short to be boring and do what everyone else does. I like to do things a little bit differently." Solid life advice

Solid, great video of humility and honesty as usual. The Handguards colour is a personal thing - to me I couldn't think of anything worse than yellow or green on a Honda, but hey, it's your bike!

The B&B tail rack... Can I just say you need to have a bit more of a think about it before you condemn it. I'm not so sure what's so hard for you about having to install with those spacers, but hey, you'll work it out. But think about it. the need for those spacers is very simple - if the end of the rack included those spacers as part of the rack frame (making the mounting point narrower) you wouldn't be able to install the rack at all. They way the plastics are, the indent means that you couldn't fit it as the plastic would be wider than the space between the two rack mounting points. It's quite simple when you think about it. B&B don't do stuff like that without reason!

[Howardtripper]

Cudos to you for not doing what everyone else is doing

[bryce]

how has the black powder coated bashplate held up on your other bikes? chipped and scratches? also why acerbis and not barkbusters?

[brianh]

I like the yellow hand guards. Real attention getters…especially by cars! Anything that gets you more visible in traffic is a plus.

[BikerBits]

Mistakes are all part of the process... Love the yellow hand guards and your reasons! 😎

Another good video. Who are the dorks who gave it a thumbs down?

[JD-rhzc]
