Great looking bike! Quick question regarding the front sprocket guard, do you think that the stock “case saver” is sufficient and an after market sprocket cover like zeta would be alright? Just trying to keep the mud out of the thing. Have you seen any aftermarket sprocket covers that have a built in case saver?
I think the oem metal guard is sufficient. I do t like any of the oem plastic or any of the larger aftermarket case saver / sprocket guard. The reason is that they either have so much coverage that mud, weeds, sticks etc is going to get caught in them. The other reason is if you look at pics of bikes with case damage it’s usually from the case breaking where the bolts screw in. I feel the larger metal guards like the zeta increase leverage when the chain wraps around it and rips the hole in the case. I’m currently using a Dirtd Factory case guard. I’ve had zero issues with it, around 1k miles. I believe if the chain broke with this guard, because it’s plastic it will act like a sacrificial pace and take the brunt of force if that chain broke and most likely break and fall apart in the process all while you still have the oem metal case guard behind it. I’m sending dirtd factory my own case guard / sprocket cover for the 300 tomorrow so he can design something similar. You can look in the community section of my channel and see pics of an older version on my 450 and then a newer version. My input helped design the newer version. Feel free to message me on Reddit or insta if you want more pics of more info. I will be adding more info in the community section of the dirtd 300 case saver.

The Rally Raid suspension is night and day from stock. I can ride any terrain at just about any speed I want. Watch some of the other videos on the channel and you will be able to see the performance of the suspension. The stock suspension would bottom out over just about any bump.
Considering a CRF 450RL goes for $10,000 and the CRF 300L goes for $5400.00, it looks like with your mods, you could have nearly purchased the RL which is 150cc more motorcycle? Thoughts?
My last bike was.crf450x. I wouldn’t be able to go any faster on a 450rl or any other bike on the terrain I ride. Other than over 80mph. If I got a 450rl which I was looking at, I would have done all the same mods I have on my 300L. I wanted the 300 for less maintenance and better fuel economy. I got tired of checking or adjusting the valves once a month.
@@184racing I'm looking at all Honda options. I'm 56, LE and about to retire which means I'm not young and don't want a 350 lb off road bike. I have a 1991 DR250 (headlight, tail light, odometer, but no speedometer or brake light, and don't laugh but the rear shock is a fully adjustable piggy back and both the forks and rear shock are better than the Honda 300L). Kick starting however is becoming a pain. I'm looking at any Honda (I have my original 1980 XR80 completely rebuilt to concourse quality in my garage) off road capable bike with electric start. I am looking for off road ability first, and just enough street legal to get me to the dirt legally. You have more recent riding experience than I do and more recent on more bikes. What do you think?
I like the 300 for it’s ease of maintenance and good fuel mileage. The bike can be built to whatever you want it to be. I ride 90-95% off road and how I have it setup it’s perfect. I’m 50 and got tired of checking and adjusting valves on the crf450’s. I can do everything on my crf300 that I could do on a 450x as long as it’s not over 80mph. They are great bikes.
@@bbaz6729 Just adding my 2 cents, these 300 crf's and klx's are so much more enjoyable to ride on/offroad than any of the newer high strung enduro bikes or the older XR and DR's. Super light clutch, smooth throttle, perfect fueling, bullet proof and 60mpg. Most fun bikes I ever had, hands down. Iv had a ton of enduro bikes. A 13t front sprocket, and the oem tires air'd up/down for on/offroad will get u anywhere you want to go to get you out there having fun. U can mod from there to what suits your need. Unless you ride at race pace, you wont be disappointed in the Honda or Kawi.
Bro it looks amazing I really dig your style choice could you explain the head light to me I want that exact thing secondly bro what did you do to the rear side guards they look really sleek
I used the crf450rl headlight cover and the crf450rl fender for it all to fit. I also needed to make new upper mounts for the light. I just shot this video. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/nlFGRHlNXmU/v-deo.html
@@TheZakkmylde you do need to enlarge the existing hole to get the larger diameter Cbr boot to fit in. I also used a small amount of black rtv gasket maker to just be sure it has a good seal.
@@dualsportoutdoors it all depends on fuel mileage. I ride it pretty aggressive and burn through it pretty good. I did a mellow 50 mile ride today and got 51.6 mpg.
@@184racing I'm a former MX, enduro, and supermoto racer. I ride my KLR like I'm in baja. I'd be lucky to see 40mpg out of the 300 with how hard I'd rip it. If I'm just going easy on the Rubicon I could probably get 50+
Look at the community section of my page I have a 450rl also. FYI the 450 is not gods gift to dual sports. If there is certain things that bother you about the 300 such as seat, vibrations, on off throttle it’s only worse with the 450. Then add the price, not the price of the 450 but a tuned ecu and exhaust is over $2k. The fuel milage I get on the 300 is between 50 and 55 on the 450 it’s 35. The other thing is suspension the 450’s suspension is horrible on slow Rocky terrain, I’m actually faster over anything under 50 mph on my 300. The 450 is a great bike but you will end up doing all the mods that you will do to a 300. I like both bikes and think they are great. I’m taking the 450 into get the suspension done after Labor Day, I bet it will be faster then the 300 over all terrain then.
@@184racing I have a 450L. Love the bike. But I didn’t fall for doing all the mods. Mine is fueled perfectly with a JD Tuner, and runs stronger with the stock pipe. Even my buddies that did ECU swaps are jealous how well my bike runs, and how little I spent. (New controls, steering damper, seat, windscreen, and Tuner.) The advantage they have is they are still making power up top when mine is signing off. But living in ‘eastern’ terrain I don’t want or need top end. I wasn’t being critical as I just asked the question. Some live to mod. Me, I just want the bare minimums. I’m one of those ‘the less bling, the better.’ But I’m an old guy. Carry on.
@@mitchwinder1204 90% of all my mods on both bikes are to make the bike perform better, more comfortable for me, or protection. That’s great your bike works for you with limited mods, right on, I’m a old guy also!

Also the cbr boot. I got stage 1 atm and wondering if worth to add boot for stage one. I haven’t found any vidoes on how to do this mod but if it helps little I’d do it if it’s a cheap upgrade.
@@TheZakkmylde It does help with stage 1, and it’s not difficult, you just need to remove a lot of bolts to get the airbox out.
@@JohnnyBoy919 oh never thought about that. We don’t have to get bikes inspected here in Canada for emissions but if I ever did that’s a good point. Maybe I’ll keep my stock exhaust and ECU just in case.

Do you have a link for those handle bars?
It looks like they are out of stock most places but, here is the bars.

Did you order your FMF off Amazon? How long did it take to get?
I did. It was back in November of 22. I paid the $20 extra for expedited shipping and it took less than a week.
@184racing just ordered the carbon version of this pipe after getting burned for a Yoshi on Ebay that was in Thailand
She's pretty. I'm doing my handlebars next. I have the same ones you have... I just haven't put them on yet. Did you cut off your old grips or do the air compressor thing?
Air compressor. Idk if you saw this video. It doesn’t have removal but installation of the controls and the grips with rubbing alcohol. No need for drilling the bars or glueing the grips.

Was the headlight plug n play or did you have to modify for fitment?
It need to be modified. There is pictures in the community section of my channel and a video with links in the description below. I also added a second link below with a video of it in use at night.

On your RALLYRAID level 2 suspension how it compare to the stock like to see more on this for sure or more details if you can?
The Rally Raid suspension is night and day from stock. I can ride any terrain at just about any speed I want. Watch some of the other videos on the channel and you will be able to see the performance of the suspension. The stock suspension would bottom out over just about any bump.
@@184racing That is the ones been looking at what is the seat height after?
@@mt1885 a couple inches over stock
Where did you get the brake and clutch levers? And would they fit on a 250l?
I don’t know if they fit a 250l, but you can get them anywhere. Zeta levers, I have the 3 finger levers.
Considering a CRF 450RL goes for $10,000 and the CRF 300L goes for $5400.00, it looks like with your mods, you could have nearly purchased the RL which is 150cc more motorcycle? Thoughts?
My last bike was.crf450x. I wouldn’t be able to go any faster on a 450rl or any other bike on the terrain I ride. Other than over 80mph. If I got a 450rl which I was looking at, I would have done all the same mods I have on my 300L. I wanted the 300 for less maintenance and better fuel economy. I got tired of checking or adjusting the valves once a month.
@@184racing I'm looking at all Honda options. I'm 56, LE and about to retire which means I'm not young and don't want a 350 lb off road bike. I have a 1991 DR250 (headlight, tail light, odometer, but no speedometer or brake light, and don't laugh but the rear shock is a fully adjustable piggy back and both the forks and rear shock are better than the Honda 300L). Kick starting however is becoming a pain. I'm looking at any Honda (I have my original 1980 XR80 completely rebuilt to concourse quality in my garage) off road capable bike with electric start. I am looking for off road ability first, and just enough street legal to get me to the dirt legally. You have more recent riding experience than I do and more recent on more bikes. What do you think?
I like the 300 for it’s ease of maintenance and good fuel mileage. The bike can be built to whatever you want it to be. I ride 90-95% off road and how I have it setup it’s perfect. I’m 50 and got tired of checking and adjusting valves on the crf450’s. I can do everything on my crf300 that I could do on a 450x as long as it’s not over 80mph. They are great bikes.
@@bbaz6729 Just adding my 2 cents, these 300 crf's and klx's are so much more enjoyable to ride on/offroad than any of the newer high strung enduro bikes or the older XR and DR's. Super light clutch, smooth throttle, perfect fueling, bullet proof and 60mpg. Most fun bikes I ever had, hands down. Iv had a ton of enduro bikes. A 13t front sprocket, and the oem tires air'd up/down for on/offroad will get u anywhere you want to go to get you out there having fun. U can mod from there to what suits your need. Unless you ride at race pace, you wont be disappointed in the Honda or Kawi.
Really good
Thanks You.
Bro it looks amazing I really dig your style choice could you explain the head light to me I want that exact thing secondly bro what did you do to the rear side guards they look really sleek
I used the crf450rl headlight cover and the crf450rl fender for it all to fit. I also needed to make new upper mounts for the light. I just shot this video. Check it out.

Very nice 🙂
Thanks 😊
what height do you have for the lvl 2 suspension ??
About 2” taller than stock.
By chance do you have a Honda part number for this cbr intake boot?
The part number is 17253-K33-D00
@@184racing the boot upgrade. Is it plug and play or mod required ?
@@TheZakkmylde you do need to enlarge the existing hole to get the larger diameter Cbr boot to fit in. I also used a small amount of black rtv gasket maker to just be sure it has a good seal.
@@184racing cool thanks
Built yourself a badass machine there. What's your range on a tank of fuel?
Thank you! I’ve never tried drain it all the way but I get about 50mpg so I’m guessing about 175 miles.
@@184racing damn. I'm gonna need at least 200 miles on my explorer build
@@dualsportoutdoors it all depends on fuel mileage. I ride it pretty aggressive and burn through it pretty good. I did a mellow 50 mile ride today and got 51.6 mpg.
@@184racing I'm a former MX, enduro, and supermoto racer. I ride my KLR like I'm in baja. I'd be lucky to see 40mpg out of the 300 with how hard I'd rip it. If I'm just going easy on the Rubicon I could probably get 50+
The machine looks great - I envy ;) What exactly are your handlebars and handbars?
Handlebar is ProTaper CR Mid wih ProTaper risers and Protaper grips. Handguards and levers are ZETA
Not trying to get too personal or anything but, how much did the performance mods cost? Specifically the suspension, exhaust, and ECU?
550 performance for ecu $150 for flash $300 new ecu, exhaust approx $300, suspension 500(uk), fork cartridges 680(uk)
thank you for showin
Thank you for watching!
How'd you get that blue seat?
Factory Effex cover.
Looks dialed!
Thanks! The 300 rides really well.
Why not just buy a 450L and be done?
Look at the community section of my page I have a 450rl also. FYI the 450 is not gods gift to dual sports. If there is certain things that bother you about the 300 such as seat, vibrations, on off throttle it’s only worse with the 450. Then add the price, not the price of the 450 but a tuned ecu and exhaust is over $2k. The fuel milage I get on the 300 is between 50 and 55 on the 450 it’s 35. The other thing is suspension the 450’s suspension is horrible on slow Rocky terrain, I’m actually faster over anything under 50 mph on my 300. The 450 is a great bike but you will end up doing all the mods that you will do to a 300. I like both bikes and think they are great. I’m taking the 450 into get the suspension done after Labor Day, I bet it will be faster then the 300 over all terrain then.
@@184racing I have a 450L. Love the bike. But I didn’t fall for doing all the mods. Mine is fueled perfectly with a JD Tuner, and runs stronger with the stock pipe. Even my buddies that did ECU swaps are jealous how well my bike runs, and how little I spent. (New controls, steering damper, seat, windscreen, and Tuner.) The advantage they have is they are still making power up top when mine is signing off. But living in ‘eastern’ terrain I don’t want or need top end.
I wasn’t being critical as I just asked the question. Some live to mod. Me, I just want the bare minimums. I’m one of those ‘the less bling, the better.’ But I’m an old guy. Carry on.
@@mitchwinder1204 90% of all my mods on both bikes are to make the bike perform better, more comfortable for me, or protection. That’s great your bike works for you with limited mods, right on, I’m a old guy also!
“Gotta have more Brake Cable, Baby!”
“I’ve got a fever and the only prescription”…..
“Is more Brake Cable!”
@@Ride2Live420 First of all brakes are hydraulic so they don’t use cables! Second you are wrong and obviously have never checked front suspension travel versus brake line length. 🤡
You could have just purchased a CRF450RX! 😂
That was my last bike! Plus the 450rx isn’t street legal.
In other words, you spent 12K on a 6K bike.
@@FierceProtocol Something like that and it’s worth every penny!
You’re not supposed to show your license plate! Now they’re gonna clone your bike!

Plenty of people see it when I ride.
