Just ordered 2021 Honda CRF300L Rally Tuesday 9/28/2021 delivered Thursday 9/30/2021, only paid MSRP no delivery fee, dealer prep, or any mark up. Southern Honda Chattanooga TN. Out the door price for Rally model was $6050. Gus Wolf was salesman. He said he would let me know when they got it in and did. No deposit required. Was told it might be a couple of months but surprise delivery came in next day after I put my name on wait list.
Hi Frank, very helpful video - by chance what model of Zeta footpegs did you get? Dimensionally the ones I've found on Amazon are not much bigger than stock - yours look to be larger. Look forward to hearing back. Thanks
The bike is looking great Frank. Do you have any idea what the luggage weight capacity is on the 300L? Say if you wanted to use this for an adventure bike, how much weight could you haul without affecting the subframe? Thanks.
I like the plastic because it does a great job of protecting like the aluminum, but the aluminum makes a harmonic sound resonating from the engine. The plastic is totally quiet. I won’t buy aluminum again
I have a 300L coming. I like the mods you have done. Have you thought about taking off that HEAVY stock 7 LB muffler and adding a mod muffler to cut weight and add performance on motor? Also are you going to get Frame tape for the boot area to keep from boot damage. Interested to see which ones you go with and color.
I won’t be taking the muffler off in fact I think it would hurt the power if you do. It is choked down with the muffler and smaller head pipe to give it more low end torque. An FMF or other muffler would make more top end but I want the lower end torque. I plan to get the stick on frame guards that is like the Gripper black, as soon alas I find it for the 300L
Hi Frank, I’m enjoying the recent videos on the TW200! I have a question about the CRF300L wheels. Yesterday I saw a rubber stopper in both rims. I assume that is a place holder where rim locks could be added? Is that correct or does it already have rim locks? Thanks Don
@@WOODZMAN subscribed ! I’m here in Thailand having some dental work and medical appointments done ( I work overseas) I just went to a local Honda dealer today , and they have both bikes ( 300L non ABS and Rally ) for $4,703 / $5,554 respectively. I’m trying to figure out how much it would be to ship that 300L home … I’m sure it’s cheaper to just buy the LED headlight/ taillight and turn indicators like you did . But I believe, this Thai variant has a 2” lower seat height than the USA/ Euro models ( I’m 5’9” 30” inseam and I can flat foot it )
@@NorthwoodsNomad I didnt buy mine, Honda sent it to me, I would think it would be cheaper to ship the bike then to buy all the parts. the LED headlight, turn signals, front fender all all the other parts required to make it all work would be very expensive!
@@WOODZMAN if I can find space in a container that’s already being shipped , it could be only a few hundred dollars to ship it . If I ship it by itself , it’s anywhere between one to two thousand yikes 😳 Then I’ll be dealing with import taxes and fees for registration… I don’t know 🤷♂️ but it’s being contemplated. I mean $4,700 is a very attractive price for this bike . Even the Rally for only $5,554 . So it makes sense for the prices in USA, the additional costs are in the shipping and freight
I've been waiting to see who will be making a plastic skid plate. I'll look forward to hearing more on that. I was thinking of making one. I might still do that... maybe ;-)
TMD(TM Designworks) makes an excellent plastic skid plate . They are impregnated with a silicone type substance which allows for you to slide over rocks and debris as opposed to aluminum types that actually drag and create more resistance, as well as , plastic skid plates reduce engine noise reflecting back up to the rider . Aluminum skid plates will produce more pinging noise from engine vibrations . The plastic skid plates flex and retain the integrity of their molded shape without deformation or cracking and breaking. I had the TMD skid plate on my KTM 350 EXC-F and it served me well , absolutely loved it ! Simple to install ( only three bolts which came with the plate .. the bolt heads are rounded off so they will not catch or snag on anything and the hex heads are recessed , and an 8mm Allen wrench is provided , as well as an access port hole integrated into it for the oil drain plug so you don’t have to take the skid plate off when you service your bike ) and there are vent holes strategically placed throughout to allow for drainage of water and air to move freely to keep your crankcase breathing and cooling. It also wraps fully around the engine on both sides providing protection for the water pump and clutch cover .
@@NorthwoodsNomad Yeah I've used only plastic skid plates for those reasons. That's why I'm holding out for plastic even though there are aluminum plates already on the market for the bike, including one made by Honda.
@@Scoottoots yeah me too , however there’s advantages and disadvantages to both , I prefer the plastic ones for the reasons stated above , and the plastic skid plates are just a tad lighter too , which complements less unsprung weight altogether.
What are your thoughts on this bike as a light weight ADV bike for a rider weighing around 220 pounds. I understand the suspension will probably need an upgrade. More of a power question for doing BDR’s. Great video. Thanks
Hola Woodzman! Saludos desde Argentina! Sigo tus publicaciones y queria felicitarte por tu CRF300L, lamentablemente no llega a mi país. Gracias a tus videos elegí hace 5 años una CRF250L que solo me ha dado satisfacciones. Saludos nuevamente!
Hi Frank, my CRF300L arrived last week and I’m loving it. I was wondering if the Auxiliary power plug is located in the headlight? I have the auxiliary plug wire kit on hand from CRF’s Only? Thanks
Very sweet looking bike. Glad you're loving it. Maybe one day when I can swallow the Honda Price pill, I'll get me one. In the meantime, I'll keep our Lifan X-Pect and KP-Mini. Took them both to our new house in FL and the Sugar Sand is quite the challenge with the X-Pect factory tires. Keep up the videos....I'll keep watching them.
@@WOODZMAN Hi there, thanks or all the great info! Any word on the AXP racing stuff featured on your video especially the rear luggage rack? I found no crf300L stuff on their website. Thanks !!
Looks a little bit bling with the coloured foot pegs Frank!...like your skid plate. Only thing I ride the 300 rally and really there’s nothing here in Australia yet.... I’ve searched numerous times...only Crf 250 rally comes up with bash plates etc...also I would like to change the seat to a Seat Concepts...yet still the same only crf 250 rally 🤔 scratching my head hear... I think it’s just that their still new... and we must be patient! What are your thoughts? Thanks Frank for your rides and posts 👍
I prefer the headlight set up that you have, was that stock or did you import it, If so could you send a link? I also love the look of the plastic bash guard - mine is in need of this - do you have a link for this too? I can’t believe how new your bike still looks after 500+ miles, mine has has the fairings/ frame rub away on both sides from boots. I’ve put the bike through some rough trails - even with the soft suspension which I have adjusted I still think it’s a Brilliant dual sport, I absolutely love the 300l 👌
The LED headlight and turn signals are a Thailand and a couple other countries, not the U.S. mine is a setup from the Factory in Thailand. I do know that you can buy all the parts to convert the U.S. model to the Thailand version but it is a lot of parts and extremely expensive. You can get the parts at bikerzbits.com/honda/crf250/crf300l-rally/crf300l-rally/
@@WOODZMAN Thank you Mate ....Honda has always fitted DIDs ,but nobody can give me an answer because they say that the DID mark does not appear on the rims . OK
I take it you prefer tail bags to tank bags. I have a Giant Loop tank bag (from my 450L) and it sucks to be honest. Was thinking of trying the small Nelson Rigg tank bag.
I like the rear rack the way it extends over the exhaust...well it looks like it does, good for wide bags. Not sure how the plastic guard compares to the Rally...but my Rally guard has taken some big hits, surprisingly strong.
Awesome! Ya know.... I just ran across one of your videos from 6 years ago where you said that if you had 1 wish, you wished they'd make a crf450L and you thought that would be the perfect dual sport.... so I have to ask, what changed your mind, since honda listened to the WOODZMAN and made it special for you?!?
Haha well they didn’t make it like I wanted it to be. Yea I wanted it to be 450cc but more like the 250L low maintenance and the price tag for the 450L is just to much
@@WOODZMAN well I can agree with you on that. It really does seem a little too picky and also disproportionately more expensive. Emissions regulations have really poopooed on a lot of motorcycle parades.
Mine came from the Honda factory they will Not sell it in the U.S. you can purchase all of it now from bikerzbits.com/honda/crf250/crf300l-rally/crf300l-rally/
I had a heck of time trying to find these as they are called "winkers" on bikerbitz but Im waiting for someone to figure out all the parts and brackets you need since it seems pretty confusing on their website what you need and if the wiring will even work.
The wiring will work, the front winkers you will need to cut the plugs off of your old winkers and put them on the LEDs. The rear winkers plug right in. The headlight plug is different, I found one that I had and it fit. You have to cut off your halogen headlight plug. Also the way the US bike is wired for the halogen, when you switch from low beam to high beam, it shuts off the low beam and turns on the high beam side of the bulb. The Thailand LED when it’s in low and you switch it to high, it turns on the high but the low stays on. You can take a 6 Amp diode and put it from your low beam wire to your high beam wire with the stripe on the diode toward the high beam wire and this will make it work right.
GoodDay Frank, new rider here. Dropped my crf300l on yesterday's trail and scratch my exhaust heat-cover. Do you happen to know any solution on those scratches? Thank you.and more power to ur channel. Liked and subscribed.👌
@@WOODZMAN thanks Frank. I guess I'll just have to bear with it, thats for trying to do a jump as a newbie. Nonetheless, it was a great jump.hahaha Btw, we also get the same cool LED lights here in the Philippines.👌 Its a great bike. Good job on your mods. Rockin it🤙
I noticed in looking up lowering foot pegs for the CRF300L that you installed the Knight Design foot pegs on your CRF250L. Wondering if they would transfer to you new 300l without any issues.
Nice bike. I've been considering the CRF300L also the CRF450L. You need to be sure when you buy a Honda because you have to put 500 dollars down and wait two months to get it. I'd surely change my mind 3 times before I got the bike and wish I'd bought something else, so right now I'm sticking with my '93 250L which is still a great bike.
@@WOODZMAN Thanks. I enjoy watching you talk about the CRF300L. That's probably what I would get if I got a new bike. I would also leave the stock exhaust. I was happy to see you agreed. I like the sound of a quiet bike.
Thank for your speedy reply! Just picked my 300 two days ago. I sold my KTM 690 Enduro r and have no regrets. This thing is so much more nimble and the power delivery off road is so much smoother.I just came back from a ride that had a long, muddy,wet, grassy rutted section. I rode it in first gear at 5mph and it was not the least bit herky jerky. It just delivered a super smooth 5mph all the wat through. I’ve never ridden a bike that smooth in first gear before. I am very happy with the 300. I also took it on the highway today. I hit 82 and it seemed to have more.
Please say more about how you change face from USA to Asia version. I like it much more, and to change it like you. But don’t know what and where I should buy to make this facelift. Help please. Thanks !
I can tell you that is takes a lot of parts, mine was sent to me including the wiring harness, front fender, headlight, shroud, dash mount bracket, turn signals and all of the mounting hardware. I believe that is you was to purchase all the parts it would be over $1000. I have heard that you can get all the parts from Bikerzbits
Frank, You need to upgrade that seat, eh! "wink" Are you planning to keep your 2018 CRF250L? If not, someone will be considered to be lucky to get the best optioned and best cared for bike possible!
No way, been there done the exhaust thing. To much obnoxious noise for the power that you gain. Plus you may gain top end but you lose the bottom end torque
I agree no need to spend that $, if you want more sound just change out the spark arrestor for one that opens up the second exhaust chamber vs pulling from the third.
U r lucky my man !! 😔 In India .. dualsport bikes r not that famous .. or should I say not a bit famous .. here we have kawasaki h2r to Ducati v4s but no dualsports.. in whole india we have only one official dualsport bike which is xpulse 200 .. here people even think Himalayan is a dualsport but that's not a dualsport.. at the end I wish honda sells this type of machine in my country too

The bike is looking great Frank. Do you have any idea what the luggage weight capacity is on the 300L? Say if you wanted to use this for an adventure bike, how much weight could you haul without affecting the subframe? Thanks.
Well the Max weight says 262lb plus 1 passenger so if no passenger it should hold quite a bit. The rear spring is soft
Why do you recommend the plastic skid plate over the aluminum? Will look forward to you response.

When do you think the AXP parts going to be available?
They will start making them soon so hopefully in a few weeks
Great videos! thanks for sharing. Cant wait to be able to get these items! let us know thanks!
I sure will!
Any news on when AXP Racing skid plates will be ready? Thanks
Still waiting, hoping soon
Frank, You need to upgrade that seat, eh! "wink" Are you planning to keep your 2018 CRF250L? If not, someone will be considered to be lucky to get the best optioned and best cared for bike possible!
Yea I want a Seat Concepts seat as soon as the are available.
For now I plan to keep the 250L
do not use your phone on the handlebar if you need the phone camera , from the vibration the sabilizator in the camera breaks
Did you used to own a KLR 650? If so, I used to watch all your videos.
No I had a DR650 and a XR650 no KLRs
@@WOODZMAN TY. All good videos!
What was your total expenditure on the mods?
I was sent them for review, some of the items like the skid plate, Cargo rack and chain guard of prototypes and should be ready for sale soon
see if you can get them to make a line up for the klx 300
I will mention it
Ohlins are still not available
You should change the exhaust with a yoshimura
No way, been there done the exhaust thing. To much obnoxious noise for the power that you gain. Plus you may gain top end but you lose the bottom end torque
@@WOODZMAN sound IS essential
I agree no need to spend that $, if you want more sound just change out the spark arrestor for one that opens up the second exhaust chamber vs pulling from the third.
U r lucky my man !! 😔 In India .. dualsport bikes r not that famous .. or should I say not a bit famous .. here we have kawasaki h2r to Ducati v4s but no dualsports.. in whole india we have only one official dualsport bike which is xpulse 200 .. here people even think Himalayan is a dualsport but that's not a dualsport.. at the end I wish honda sells this type of machine in my country too
Can't you just plug in an LED in where the halogen is?
You can on the stock a US model 300L, using a Cyclopes LED.
Mine is a Thailand LED light
Why plastic skid plate?
I like them better myself, that are strong and they don’t make the obnoxious harmonic noise like the aluminum
@@WOODZMAN I need it 😩
Hopefully they will be available soon
I don't understand why the Asian version would have LED's and the North American version would not? Who wouldn't pick the LEDs and why?
I’m not sure unless they was trying to cut costs
Air filter upgrade soon 😃
Yea I have one ready
TOO MUCH EXPENSIVE !
